Breakthrough pain, intense increases in pain that occur with rapid onset even when pain-control medication is being used. Breakthrough pain can occur spontaneously or in relation to a specific activity. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- Seemingly, the literature indicates that the main reason for this may be the way analgesics are prescribed - that is, inappropriate selection of analgesics, inappropriate doses and failure to provide rescue doses of analgesics for breakthrough pain (Foley, 1995).
- Seemingly, the patient must be physically able to administer the lozenge, and their mouth must be sufficiently moist to allow absorption to occur. Nevertheless, transmucosal fentanyl citrate provides effective relief of breakthrough pain in cancer and offers patients an alternative to the traditional approach. Absorption is the process of taking nutrients from the digestive system into the blood so they can be used in the body. Fentanyl citrate is a drug used to treat severe cancer pain that occurs even though the patient is already taking opioids. It is also used during anesthesia for surgery. Fentanyl citrate binds to opioid receptors in the central nervous system. It is a type of analgesic agent and a type of opioid.
- It`s possible to notice, despite the availability of the WHO (World Health Organization) step-ladder approach, which offers a theoretical framework to facilitate a logical approach to the management of cancer pain, patients with cancer continue to experience and report pain. The appropriate choice of analgesic titrated to the needs of each individual is crucial to ensure the effective management of breakthrough pain. Ensure is a nutritional drink that may help people who cannot get everything they need in their diet from foods and other drinks. It may be taken by mouth or given through a small tube inserted through the nose into the stomach or the small intestine. It may also be given through a small tube that is put into the stomach or intestinal tract through an opening made on the outside of the abdomen. Ensure is a type of dietary supplement. Also called polymeric enteral nutrition formula.
