  • Warning/Precaution
  • Monitoring Parameters
A

CI:
- Uncontrolled HTN

Warning/Precaution
- Thromboembolism events
- Tumor Progression
=> High Hgb: inc risk of MI, stroke, clot
=> Keep Hgb b/w 10-12g/dL
=> Once chemo stop, stop Epogen or Aranesp

Monitoring

  • BP, CBC w/ diff, platelet, Hgb
  • Sr Ferritin => start Fe if Start if saturation Correct Fe, B12, Folate prior to tx

  • Platelets
  • RBC
  • Granulocytes
A
  • Platelets: 10 days
  • RBC: 120 days
  • Granulocytes: 6-8H => neutropenia occurs w/in hrs of chemo.
98
Q

Tumor lysis syndrome

  • Results in:
  • Problems
A

Result in ARF, multiple organ failure, death

  • Hyperkalemia
  • Hyperuricemia
  • Hyperphosphatemia
  • Hypocalemia

Problems

  • Cardiac arrhythmia: hyperK = arrhythmia. HypoCa = QT int lengthening = V. arrhythmia
  • Electrolytes: transcellular shift of K
  • Hyperuricemia: give allopurinol & hydration to prevent uric acid crystal within collecting ducts = ARF
99
Q

Treatment of tumor lysis syndrome

A

Administer IV CaCl

  • Tx HyperK or HypoCa
  • Protect myocardium from arrhythmias
  • CaCl contains 3x Ca++ element (1g = 290mg) than Ca gluconate (1g = 90 mg).

Na Bicarbonate
- Shift K intracellular

Insulin (Novolin, Humulin) & dextrose
- Shift K intracellular

Kayexalate

  • Exchange Na for K and binds to K in gut => decr total body K.
  • OSA: PO 2-12H. Per rectal = longer osa
  • Give as 2nd stage of therapy to reduce total body K
  • SEs: constipation
  • Don’t give w/ sorbital = GI necrosis
