1 Brachytherapy and the ever evolving nursing role Gabby Vigar Clinical Services Coordinator Radiation Oncology Department Royal Adelaide Hospital
2 Brachytherapy at the RAH > HDR Prostate 1# > LDR Prostate (seed implants) > HDR Gynae Ovoids and tandems 3 # over 3 weeks > HDR Gynae Vault/vaginal moulds > Interstitial Sarcoma, Oesophageal, Lung, Gall bladder > Surface skin (tricky surfaces to treat with EBRT
3 How we do these procedures > All Brachytherapy procedures are done in our department > Prostate HDR and Prostate LDR require GA and this is done in our department > Gynae Tandem and Ovoids require GA and this is done in our department. > Tuesday Prostate Day > Wednesday Gynae day > Buy in Anaesthetic service (1 X Anaesthetist/Anaesthetic nurse) > Buy in Urologist on Tuesday
4 Our Brachytherapy Suite
5 Our Brachytherapy Suite
6 Our Brachytherapy Suite
7 Brachytherapy and Nursing Role > Historically only scrub and scout role > Has now developed into a broader role which starts directly after first consultation with RO and 2 weeks post Brachy/Tx > Role diversification resulted from a number of gaps in patient care, education, policies/procedures, toxicity assessment/management and follow up care
8 Development of Policies/Procedures > Development of 14 reprocessing Site Specific Instructions (SSI) for all Rad Onc equipment that requires reprocessing > Development of 5 procedural Site Specific Instructions for all brachytherapy procedures > Development of 10 Consumer Information Sheets (CIS) for brachy patients > Regular review and updates
9 Site Specific Instructions (SSI)
10 SSI - procedural
11 Consumer Information Sheet (CIS)
12 New case education > After patient has seen RO and treatment offered, nurses provide education regarding next steps > CIS for general information/workup information/procedure information > eviq resources such as General information, CT scan, dilators > Bowel/bladder prep education and resources > Dilator education (too early??) > Nursing assessment
13 General patient information sheet
14 Bowel/Bladder prep
15 Prostate Brachytherapy workup > Prostate LDR and HDR brachy require strict work up including PSA, Gleason score, prostate volume, urinary flow rate, cystoscopy > Nursing role is urinary flow rate. Involves bladder scan to ensure there is approx. 400ml urine in bladder (compliance is an issue..) Volume flow rate completed, bladder scan post volume flow rate > Usually done on Tuesdays with 4-6 patients
16 Prostate workup education
17 Gynae brachy workup > Tandem and ovoid technique > Patient to have bloods taken 2 days prior > Nursing role to check blood results > Looking for Hb > 100 > Neutrophils > 1.0 > Platelets >?? > Transfusion in our department > GCSF for Neutropaenia
18 Toxicity assessment and management pre/post EBRT > Gynae due to short period between EBRT and Brachy, toxicity assessment and management crucial (skin, urinary and bowel toxicities) > Prostate HDR Urinary and bowel toxicity assessment and management post brachy, pre EBRT crucial
19 Scrub and scout > 2 Rad Onc nurses allocated to GA brachy days. > Theatre set up including set up of sterile equipment. Annual education from theatre educator regarding aseptic technique > Order patient from Surgical admissions > Pre-op care (team time out checklist) > Positioning of patient > Gynae opportunities to scrub and assist with procedure
20 Scrub and scout cont > Scout for additional equipment > Support for anaesthetics > Transport to recovery with Anaesthetic team > Clean theatre and prepare for 2 nd case > Assist in reprocessing of all equipment
21 Gynae follow up care > Gap in practice identified by RO s > Patients coming back for follow up appointment not having used dilator > Need to find a way to communicate with the patients to commence dilators > Consensus reached that all radical pelvis patients need to use dilators > Consensus reached that this should commence 2 4 weeks post treatment
22 Gynae follow up care cont. > All patients educated about dilators when they first see RO > Given supplies (Dilator, lube, eviq instructions) at this time > 2 weeks post EBRT/RT, phone call by nurses to remind them it is time to start using dilator > Appointment made on ARIA to remind nurses when phone calls are due > Patients don t have to attend (we need to remind them of this)
23 More opportunities - Recovery > New RAH due for completion and relocation in November 2016 > New Rad Onc Dept features 6 patient Recovery Bay > MOC will be to recover brachy patients in our new Dept > Idea is that we have support from Recovery nurses x 2, Anaesthetist > Rad Onc brachy support nurse for admit, pre op care, recovery support and discharge
24 New skills > Advanced Life support > Super nummary days in Recovery to gain experience > Competency checklist > Workflow simulations > Frequent rotations through new role to keep up skills
