Abstract: Objective: Tyrosine kinase transmembrane receptor inhibitors are widely used in the clinical treatment of liver cancer, and oral mucosal adverse reactions may occur. This study is to explore the effect of mannitol, lidocaine, dexamethasone and mouthwash in such patients.
Method: In this paper, 46 patients with liver cancer who were treated with sorafenib, lenvatinib, regorafenib or cetuximab were selected as the research objects (all oral mask reactions were grade 2-3). They were randomly divided into 23 cases in the observation group and 23 cases in the control group. The control group used mannitol, lidocaine and dexamethasone to rinse the mouth when adverse reactions to the oral mask occurred, and the observation group was.
Result: The effect of oral mucosal adverse reactions in the observation group was later than that in the control group and the symptoms were milder. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The mannitol, lidocaine and dexamethasone preparation has a good effect on the oral mucosal side effects of the tyrosine kinase transmembrane receptor inhibitor, and it is worthy of clinical application. This article provides references for oncology nursing workers to deal with related adverse reactions.
