Background of the Problem

Theoretical Framework

Application of Evidenced Based Research Study

Introduction of the Program
Chemotherapy drugs are a heterogeneous group of drugs in which many are
known mutagens, teratogens and/or carcinogens. Allergic reactions have also been reported.
Studies show that there is a health risk during exposure of chemotherapy drugs and there are
guidelines for minimizing exposure of health personnel to these chemicals. Workers in daily
contact with these drugs will be more at risk due to the increasing use of chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy spills refers to spills during preparation and leakage from infusion bags. (Oslo
University Hospital 2012)
Target Population
The target population of the program would include the Doctors, Pharmacists and Nurses
of the Cagayan Valley Medical Center, health professionals involved in the preparation of chemo
drugs.
Goals and Objectives of the Program

The main goal of this program is to ensure the safety of the health professionals involved

from exposure to cytotoxic chemicals in the preparation of the chemo drugs.

To avoid contamination and preserve the sterility of the drug.
To ensure that spills of chemotherapy drugs or waste materials that contain these

chemicals are handled in a safe way to protect health and safety.

To protect the people and surroundings from exposure.

Sustainability of the Program
1. Mag oorder yung onco fellow sa chart kung anu yung chemotherapy treatment ng
px. Including the meds needed and materials to be sent sa laminar flow. 2. Secure
chemo meds from the pharmacy or from the px. 3. Secure CAOS (chemotherapy
administration order sheet) form - ginagawa ng onco fellow. Nakasulat dito yung
desired tx. E.g. doxorubicin 900mg in 500ml D5W to run for 4 hrs. Of course may
name ng px yung form rm/ward etc. 4. Call laminar flow and inform them na
magpapadala ka ng chemo meds na ipapatimpla. 5. Ask nursing aid to bring chemo
meds, materials (iv fluids, macroset, syringes, needles, gloves, mask, chemo cover),
and CAOS form to laminar flow. 6. Mixing of chemotherapy done by pharmacist at
laminar flow. Pag tapos na, ihahatidnlng nila sa ward yung chemo. 7. Pagdating ng
pharmacist/nurse sa ward, ieendorse nia yung mga natimplang chemo meds sa
nurse in charge. Reading the label sa ivf ng chemo and CAOS form then ipaparcv sa
ward nurse yung isang copy ngCAOS. 8. Chemo to be administered by ward nurse
na. *** minsan kasi ndi lang isa yung nakatimpla na gamoT para sa px, so kunwari
lahat ng pang day1 chemo (3 diff.meds), ipapatimpla na sa lminar flow. Tapos naka
label na individually yun, idodouble check nlng ng ward nurse sa chart which to
administer first
