Zusammenfassung

Zu den unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen bestimmter Chemo- und Radiotherapien gehört die orale Mukositis, eine Entzündung der Mundschleimhaut. Da sie die Lebensqualität der Patienten in hohem Maße beeinträchtigen kann, sollten Pflegende der Mundhygiene einen besonders hohen Stellenwert beimessen. In der täglichen Praxis wird die orale Mukositis oft kontrovers diskutiert. In diesem Artikel werden aktuelle theoriebasierte und erfahrungsbasierte Grundlagen und Anleitungen für die Pflege und Behandlung vorgestellt.

Abstract

Nurses should attach great importance to this symptom. Discussions dealing with oral mucositis in daily practice are still often controversial. The current theory- and experience-based principles and recommendations for the management of oral mucositis are presented.
