Utilização da via subcutânea na prática clínica
Palavras-chave:
via subcutânea, hipodermoclise, cuidados paliativosResumo
Os cuidados a doentes crónicos e aos doentes com necessidade
de cuidados paliativos devem centrar-se na promoção activa
do conforto e na redução do sofrimento associado ao processo
de doença. A administração de fármacos e soros é um dos
veículos desse processo. Nesse contexto clínico existe algumas
vezes a necessidade de recorrer a vias alternativas à via oral,
que não sejam vias que agravem o desconforto do doente ou
prolonguem o seu internamento. A administração de fármacos e
soros (hipodermoclise) através da via subcutânea constitui uma
excelente alternativa, eficaz e cómoda, ainda pouco utilizada no
nosso contexto clínico. Revêem-se neste artigo as indicações,
vantagens e alguns aspectos práticos associados à utilização
da via subcutânea.
