The use of expandable metallic stents in patients with esophageal cancer: a case report.

Esophageal cancer has provided today's gastroenterology nurse with an opportunity to assist with an effective palliative treatment offering patients a better quality of life. This procedure is relatively new and requires a minimal hospital stay, thereby demanding that staff members quickly formulate and implement a personalized patient care plan. The case presented in this article details the first esophageal implant performed in New York State and the fifth in the United States. Although the basic care is similar to that of any patient undergoing a panendoscopy, this patient requires more emotional support and in-depth patient teaching concerning the palliative nature of the procedure and the postprocedural retrosternal pain to be expected. Objectivity is essential in the care of these patients because of their familiarity with staff members as a result of frequent visits to the Endoscopy Suite for other palliative treatments such as esophageal dilatations and laser treatments.
