Application of ambulatory infusion devices in infusional cancer chemotherapy: a model for nursing management
Abstract:
Optimal support of the patient receiving infusional cancer chemotherapy (ICC) in the home setting is partially dependent on the provision of an infusional device that offers minimal complexity and maximal reliability and safety. The selection of the appropriate device is vital to positive patient outcomes and to the comfort level of both patient and care providers. This article presents issues and considerations in the selection of infusion devices and the nursing role in the management of patients utilizing such devices. Aspects of nursing management are presented from the perspective of The Cancer Center of Boston (TCC) model.
