Abstract

Torakalna onkologija je grana onkologije koja se bavi prevencijom, dijagnostikom i
liječenjem tumorskih tvorevina u torakalnom dijelu tijela. Ovom granom medicine su
obuhvaćena tumorska oboljenja pluća, plućne maramice, dišnih puteva, dijafragme, zida prsnog
koša, gornjeg torakalnog otvora, pa i torakalno-abdominalnog dijela tijela, uključujući i
tumorske metastaze koje zahvaćaju navedene organe. Hitnim stanjima u onkologiji se smatraju
sva stanja koja su posljedica postojanja tumora,... More komplikacija zloćudne bolesti te stanja nakon
provedenih terapijskih postupaka. Postoje brojna hitna stanja, a u torakalnoj onkologiji se
najčešće radi o sindromu gornje šuplje vene, sindromu lize tumora, kompresiji mozga i leđne
moždine, neutropenijskoj vrućici, opstrukciji dišnih puteva. Od iznimne je važnosti da
medicinska sestra ili medicinski tehničar bude pribran i stručan u svakom momentu te da djeluje
u skladu sa stečenim znanjem u datoj situaciji. Uz navedeno, mora voditi brigu o
biopsihosocijalnim karakteristikama svakog pacijenta individualnom, pokazati razumijevanje
te surađivati s kompletnim medicinskim timom, jer su njihova stručnost, pribranost i specifična
skrb od presudne važnosti za dobrobit pacijenta. Less

mentioned organs. Emergency conditions in oncology are all conditions that are a consequence
of the existence of a... More tumour, complications of a malignant disease, and conditions after
therapeutic procedures. There are many emergency situations, and in thoracic oncology, the
most common cases are superior vena cava syndrome, tumour lysis syndrome, brain and spinal
cord compression, neutropenic fever, airway obstruction. It is extremely important that the
medical team is professional in each moment and that they act in accordance with the acquired
knowledge in each situation. In addition to the above, they must take care of the biopsychosocial
characteristics of each individual patient, show understanding and cooperate with the entire
medical team, because their expertise, composure and specific care are of crucial importance
for the patient's well-being. Less
