Abstract

e18257 Background: Is not practical in countries of Latin America the use of Central Venous Catheters - CL in Oncology due the difficulty of financing of this procedure. The PICC is a vascular access device inserted in peripheral vein infusion drugs with Center for a cost of no more than 20% when compared to use of a catheter fully deployed. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study, retrospective and quantitative data were collected from complication and pharmacovigilance of a private oncology outpatient clinic in Rio de Janeiro, in the care of patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer with Paclitaxel weekly in the Jan 2016 period the Dec 2016. Results: The study were performed with 98 patients, peripheral venous access 75.5% and 24.5% central venous access. Of patients with peripheral venous access, 47.3% had exclusive member to puncture. Of this group, 21.6% of patients achieved success on first CL in all infusions performed in the period and 78.4% needed more than one CL for Administration of paclitaxel in at least an infusion. 182 Pharmacovigilance notifications were made, being 38.5% for the flebogênicidade symptoms after use of paclitaxel. Conclusions: The study highlights the relationship between venous access safe and successful outpatient antineoplasic therapy. The data observed in analyzed period justifies the creation of deployment Protocol of PICC for patients with breast cancer to treatment with Paclitaxel weekly. It is hoped with this Protocol added convenience and safety for the patient, ensuring fast start of infusional therapy often delayed by the difficulty in accessing the patient's venous network, reducing and avoiding delays in cycles, with low rates of complications for the same and lower costs.
