Expert consensus on whole-process management of nursing care for percutaneous radioactive particle implantation
The emergence and advancement of precision medicine have led to the widespread utilization of percutaneous radioactive particle implantation therapy for various malignant tumors.There is currently no consistent practice standard for the nursing care for parti-cle implantation therapy in China,despite the fact that particle implantation has been developed into a standardized clinical technique for treatment with Chinese characteristics.The Expert Consensus Group on Overall Management of Particle Implantation Therapy Care was established to promote and standardize the nursing care for particle implantation therapy,and strengthen its quality control.Experts in the fields of radiology,nuclear medicine,oncology,evidence-based medicine,nursing,and other related fields have been gathered to formu-late this consensus based on the opinions of both domestic and international experts,the most recent research,applicable laws,regulations,and standards,as well as the clinical status quo in China.This consensus consists of qualification and training requirements for nurses,preoperative,intraoperative,and postoperative nursing care,guidelines for discharge and follow-up.It addresses key issues in the field of nursing care throughout the entire process of particle implantation therapy,from the aspects of standardizing the quality management of clinical nursing care and the quality control of radiation protection,in order to improve the therapeutic effect and ensure the safety of pa-tients and nursing staff.
