Safe dispensing of chemotherapy for pharmacists
3rd International Conference on Clinical Pharmacy
Sonia Amin Thomas
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Pharmacy (GA Campus), USA
ScientificTracks Abstracts: Clin Pharmacol Biopharm
Abstract
Healthcare workers are exposed to chemotherapy during preparation and administration of hazardous drugs including chemotherapy. This has been an ongoing concern for years in the healthcare industry. Various studies showing contamination in preparation area, long-term chromosomal abnormalities, biological marker changes in workers, long-term effects on reproduction, hair loss, rashes, miscarriages and birth defects and cancers due to chemotherapy exposure make this concern legitimate. There are guidelines for safe handling of both intravenous and oral chemotherapy from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) which all discuss how to prepare, handle and administer chemotherapy safely.Biography
