Abstract
Adult cancer patients on chemotherapy have reported taste and smell changes during IV flush procedures. The research conducted is the first to confirm sensorial disturbances from prefilled saline flush administration in this patient population. Findings reveal significantly more sensorial disturbances with prefilled saline syringes than non-prefilled saline syringes.
