Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Analyzing the various situations experienced by patients under cancer care, it is seen that in most cases additional forms of care become necessary, such as different channels of medication and fluid administration, due to the weakened condition that many present in their clinical condition. One of these alternatives is hypodermoclysis. OBJECTIVE: Demonstrate the applicability of the hypodermoclysis technique in cancer patients, in the administration of medications. METHOD: The methodology applied is consistent with a narrative bibliographic review drawn up from searches in scientific databases, including Google Scholar, Scielo and Virtual Health Library. Descriptors referring to the subject covered were used, with the MESH TERMS “Hypodermoclysis”, “Oncology” and “Palliative Care”. Articles published in the last 5 years were included, which were available in full and in Portuguese. Articles that were published more than 5 years ago, were not available in full, were in a foreign language or did not completely address the topic were excluded. RESULTS: It is necessary to develop a care plan for cancer patients using the hypodermoclysis technique. Based on this reflection, it is possible to carry out some nursing interventions related to the patient's clinical condition. CONCLUSION: After reading several research studies and articles, it was possible to conclude that hypodermoclysis has more advantages than disadvantages, and applying the correct technique, it is an extremely safe route for infusing various medications.
