Key result

Radiotherapy with specialized nursing management was safely completed in 4 cancer patients with cardiac pacemakers, with no instances of pacemaker malfunction observed during or after treatment.

Why the study?

Patients with cardiac pacemakers undergoing radiotherapy are clinically rare, and their safety has attracted clinical attention.

Does a comprehensive nursing management protocol ensure the safety of cardiac pacemakers in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy?

Does a comprehensive nursing management protocol ensure the safety of cardiac pacemakers in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy?

P

Population

4 cancer patients (aged 59-82 years, 1 female) with implanted cardiac pacemakers who underwent radiotherapy and were followed for 6 to 12 months.

I

Intervention

Radiotherapy with a comprehensive nursing management protocol including pre-radiotherapy assessment, continuous ECG and vital sign monitoring during treatment, and post-radiotherapy follow-up.

O

Outcome

Pacemaker safety and function (absence of malfunction) during and after radiotherapy.safety

A comprehensive nursing management protocol, including continuous monitoring and multidisciplinary collaboration, can ensure the safe delivery of radiotherapy in cancer patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers.

Limitations

Radiation dose to the pacemaker was evaluated using the TPS planning system without TLD verification.
Radiation dose received by the pacemaker was evaluated using the TPS planning system, and TLD was not used to re-measure the radiation dose.

Implication

May support nursing protocols for safe radiotherapy in pacemaker patients; hypothesis-generating and requires larger prospective validation.

Abstract

心脏起搏器是治疗慢性心律失常最有效的方法之一，携带心脏起搏器的患者接受放射治疗的病例临床少见，其安全性备受临床关注。该文报道相关病例4例，并复习相关文献，为临床护理实践提供参考。A cardiac pacemaker is one of the most effective methods for the treatment of chronic arrhythmia. Patients with cardiac pacemakers undergoing radiotherapy are rare in clinical practice, and their safety has attracted clinical attention. Four related cases are reported in this article, and review the relevant literature to provide reference for clinical nurse practice.
