Citostáticos e surdez : caso clínico

Abstract

Atualmente, os riscos da manipulação e contacto com citostáticos têm recebido crescente atenção por parte da comunidade científica, principalmente devido à sua atividade carcinogénica. Alguns estudos têm sido realizados acerca da ototoxicidade destes químicos nos doentes que realizam quimioterapia, contudo, há uma grande falha na investigação dos riscos otológicos que esta exposição traz aos profissionais de saúde, nomeadamente aos enfermeiros que preparam a medicação nos hospitais de dia. Neste trabalho é descrito um caso clínico de uma enfermeira que, após anos de manipulação de cistostáticos, perdeu alguma acuidade auditiva. Este trabalho pretende mostrar que ainda há muito que não conhecemos sobre a ototoxicidade dos citostáticos e o seu impacto na exposição ocupacional. São abordados alguns pontos relevantes sobre os riscos destes fármacos bem como a sua prevenção e a avaliação do seu impacto e repercussão na saúde dos profissionais.

Nowadays, the risks of manipulation and contact with cytostatic drugs have been receiving increasing attention by the scientific community, mainly due to its carcinogenic activity. Some studies have been done concerning the ototoxicity of these chemicals in patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, there is a major gap in the investigation of the otological risks that this exposure brings to health professionals, particularly the nurses who prepare the medication in the hospitals. This paper describes a case report of a nurse who, after years of manipulation of cytostatics, suffered some earring loss. This paper tries to show that there is still a lot that we do not know about the ototoxicity of cytostatics and its impact on the occupational exposure. Some relevant points about the risks of these drugs as well as their prevention methods and the evaluation of their impact and repercussion on the health of professionals are discussed.
