Abstract
abstract: The presence of hemorrhage in the person with head and neck cancer can be devastating
with severe implications for quality of life or even survival. The signaling of the person at risk and its
prevention is basic, which requires that, in conjunction with the medical team, the nurse to rigorously
assess the risk persons and the possible etiology of possible bleeding, identifying sentinel events
predisposing to a bleeding episode, tailoring the material and technique to a specific situation. Nurses
should have knowledge and skills in the prevention and management of haemorrhage in head and neck
cancer patients, as well as instruct the person for alarm signs.
This article aims to provide a theoretical framework on the performance in the various types of
haemorrhage for which the person with head and neck cancer has an increased risk.
