An audit of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in children

Abstract: An audit was conducted of the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in children and young people in the national Irish paediatric cancer unit. Over three months, the anti-emetic medication and the incidence of nausea and vomiting in 50 consecutive patient episodes were recorded among 25 children receiving chemotherapy for diverse malignancies. Anti-emetic prescription was found to be unrelated to the emetogenic potential of the chemotherapy received, so that effectiveness varied. Dexamethasone… Show more

“…The English-language PeNAT is reliable and valid (Dupuis et al, 2006). It has been used to describe the burden of nausea in children receiving various chemotherapies (Vol et al, 2016;Patel et al, 2020;Clinton et al, 2012), to evaluate the efficacy of antinauseant interventions (Dupuis et al, 2018;Evans et al, 2018) and to assess nausea severity as part of routine clinical care (McKinnon & Jupp, 2019).

“…Selain itu mual dan muntah yang tidak terkontrol akan mampu menyebabkan anak mendapat nutrisi yang kurang, ketidakseimbangan elektrolit, dan fungsi fisik serta mental yang memburuk(Hamdani, Chaudhary, Awan, Khan, & Kojouri, 2007). Pada tahap lebih lanjut, distress yang dialami anak akibat mual dan muntah akan membuat anak tidak dapat beraktivitas dengan normal dan akan memengaruhi kualitas hidup anak secara signifikan(Clinton & Dowling, 2012).Beberapa strategi koping dan intervensi non farmakologi diharapkan mampu dilakukan oleh anak sebagai alternatif lain yang dapat mengatasi mual muntah yang dialami karena kemoterapi selain obat antiemetik. Pada penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Rodgers et al, (2012) mengkaji beberapa strategi koping yang dilakukan oleh anak dalam menghadapi mual dan muntah yang dirasakan.…”
