Abstract

Objective: To identify evidence in the literature about local complications observed when using hypodermoclysis in patients under Palliative Care. Method: This was a systematic review to assess local and regional complications of the hypodermoclysis catheter insertion site in patients under Palliative Care. Searches were performed from November to December 2020 using the following databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, LILACS, BDENF and SciELO. A systematic review prism model was adopted. Results: The following evidence was identified: the most prevalent complications resulting from the use of hypodermoclysis were edema and erythema, with a predominance of needled catheter use, mainly in the abdominal and infraclavicular regions. Among the most administered solutions and medications, the following stood out: 0.9% NaCl, KCl and opioids. Conclusion: There is a need to intensify the development of research with improved design and methodological rigor, resulting in greater evidence regarding the investigated topic.
