Abstract: Chemotherapy is a
cancer management with drugs. The complication that can be occurred is
extravasation. The objective of this study was to analyze factors such as vein
conditions, type of medications/chemotherapeutic agents, volume of
chemotherapeutic agents, and their correlation with chemotherapy drugs
extravasation incidences. This study used cross-sectional observational
analytic design, with purposive sampling. The sample of this study was 70
cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in hospitals. Inclusive criteria were
patients with ages 18-65 in their first to fifth cycle of chemotherapy. The
observation form was used as research instrument. The study showed that there
were no correlation between vein conditions, type of
medications/chemotherapeutic agents, and volume of chemotherapeutic agents with
extravasation. Most veins were still in good condition while undergoing
chemotherapy. The length of time for administering chemotherapy were mostly
<24 hours, which contributed for reducing risk for extravasation, although
the type of medication used were irritants and vesicants, and with drugs volume
of 1001000 milliliter. The incidences of extravasation that were immediately
can be observed during chemotherapy occurred 7.14% of the time. It was possibly
occurred by medical devices used, such as infusion pump that was facilitated
the nurses in early anticipate drugs leakage outside the veins tissue. Nurses
roles also contributed to reduced extravasation risks. As conclusion, the
results shown there were no correlation statistically; however there might be
other contributing factors that need to be explored furthermore.
