Abstract

According to the studies the rate of emergency departments use among cancer patients exceed those of general population; however, there are differences based on cancer type, initial treatments, socioeconomic status, disease stages, health insurance status and so on. Patients’ symptoms and the severity of complications are varied as well. The emergency departments are actively involved in different stages of cancer management such as primary diagnosis, ongoing treatments and end-of-life period. Cancer patients usually have more serious complications and need more specialized cares at the end of life period, during chemotherapy and surgical treatments. Understanding the reasons for such visits could be useful in the development of dedicated interventions for preventing unnecessary emergency department visits, which is discussed in this mini-review.
癌症患者使用急诊科面临的挑战迷你评论
研究表明,癌症患者急诊科使用率高于普通人群;然而,根据癌症类型、初始治疗、社会经济地位、疾病分期、健康保险状况等因素,存在差异。患者的症状和并发症的严重程度也各不相同。急诊科积极参与癌症管理的不同阶段,如初步诊断、持续治疗和生命末期。癌症患者通常有更严重的并发症,在生命的最后阶段,在化疗和手术治疗期间需要更多的专业护理。了解这种访问的原因可能有助于制定专门的干预措施,以防止不必要的急诊科访问,这在本小型综述中进行了讨论。
