Abstract

The objective in this study was to identify the clinical profile of children/adolescents with onco-hematological diseases and the characteristics of the catheters they use. Descriptive study with quantitative approach of 78 epidemiological surveillance forms. The scenario was a pediatric onco-hematology outpatient clinic. The data were collected in August 2015. It was observed that 32 (59%) of the patients using a totally implanted catheter were male, and seven (53%) patients with a peripherally inserted central venous catheter were female. Ages ranged between 10 and 16 years. The main diagnosis was acute lymphoid leukemia in both. The mean length of use of the totally implanted catheter was 303 days, against 55 days for the peripherally inserted central venous catheter. The end of the treatment is the main motive for the withdrawal of both. The lack of completed information in the forms limited this research. In conclusion, these devices are effective and safe for chemotherapeutic treatment.
