Nursing Management in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) Cell Therapy: A Systematic Literature Review.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to describe an overview of the overall care, patient and parent education, staff training, and management of complications from a nursing perspective of pediatric patients undergoing chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell infusion in order to provide an updated summary of the approach to the management of these patients. CAR-T cellular therapy represents an innovation within pediatric hematology and oncology used to treat relapse and refractory leukemias, solid tumors, and lymphomas when standard therapy has not worked. However, this type of therapy could lead to the onset of some clinical complications that must be managed appropriately and promptly.
