Two of the agents What is your best explanation for why Mrs. Turner was
(docetaxel and given a port to receive her chemotherapy?
carboplatin) that Mrs.
Turner will receive are
categorized as irritants.
Docetaxel can cause a
significant reaction if it
extravasates. It can lead to
edema, erythema,
occasional pain and
blister formation (ONS
Chemo/Bio guidelines,
2014). That is the most
likely reason that Mrs.
Turner was given a port
for her treatments. Some
patients will receive their
treatments through a
peripheral IV without
incident. Just because they
are intravenous agents
does not mean that a port
is required and needing a
port has nothing to do
with her being older in
age. Since none of these
agents are vesicants, they
likely could have been
given safely via peripheral
route but having a port
placed is OK as well.
_____________can cause inflammation, pain, and burning
but rarely cause tissue necrosis comparable to a
Irrirtants
vesicant (unless a large amount or a very high
concentration of the irritant is extravasated).
