Intrathecal drug delivery for cancer pain at the end of life : a case study

Article indépendant

NURSEY, Florence | GILLETT, Karen

Two-thirds of patients with advanced cancer have pain and, of these, approximately 10-20% do not respond to conventional pain management approaches. This case study concerns a hospice patient who received intrathecal drug delivery for intractable cancer pain at the end of life. This involved working in partnership with a hospital-based interventional pain team. Despite side-effects and complications associated with intrathecal drug delivery and the requirement for inpatient nursing care, intrathecal drug delivery was the best option for the patient. The case identifies the importance of a patient-centred approach to decision-making, effective partnerships between hospice and acute hospital teams, and nurse education as key factors contributing to the provision of safe and effective intrathecal drug delivery.
