Resumen

La radiodermatitis es un efecto secundario muy común de los tratamientos de radioterapia para cáncer de cabeza- cuello. Si ésta llega a ser severa, puede requerir la interrupción e incluso finalización del tratamiento, además de ocasionar una disminución en la calidad de vida del paciente, motivo por el cual es de vital importancia su manejo, que suele recaer en los profesionales de la enfermería. Sin embargo, no hay aún un Gold estándar para su prevención y tratamiento. En el presente caso clínico, se presentan los resultados de la intervención enfermera para el manejo de radiodermatitis en un varón con diagnóstico de carcinoma epidermoide de laringe que sigue tratamiento concomitante de radioterapia y quimioterapia. Las intervenciones llevadas a cabo (explicación detallada de los cuidados de la piel, uso de spray con ingrediente mayoritario de aceite de oliva y revisiones periódicas) mostraron ser efectivas para el manejo de la radiodermatitis en este paciente.

Abstract

Radiodermatitis is a very common side effect of radiotherapy treatments for head and neck cancer. If this becomes severe, it may require the interruption and even termination of treatment, in addition to causing a decrease in the patient's quality of life; this is the main reason why its management, which usually falls on nursing professionals, is of vital importance. However, there is still no Gold standard for its prevention and treatment. In the present clinical case, the author shows the results of the nursing intervention for the management of radiodermatitis in a man with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx who is undergoing concomitant treatment of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The interventions carried out (detailed explanation of skin care, the use of a spray whose main ingredient is olive oil and periodic check-ups) proved to be effective in the management of radiodermatitis in this patient.
