Abstract

Nurses are qualified and skilled enough to utilize Lean principles because they are already following systematic steps to reach the best outcomes in their daily practice which complements matches the Lean process. The peripheral infusion of a vesicant chemotherapy is considered as a complex and high-risk procedure . Nurses can be accounted as the key players against extravasation.Any variations in the administration of chemotherapeutic infusions might lead to increase the risk of extravasations. Minimizing the risks can be sustained if nurses follow an evidenced based, proactive, preventive, clear and standardized pathway.
