Immediate nursing assessment includes monitoring respiratory status and neurological status. Elevate the head of the bed to 45 degrees or more to promote venous drainage and reduce edema. Avoid any procedures that could increase venous pressure, such as venipuncture or IV lines in the upper extremities.
Do not misinterpret these signs as simple fluid overload or allergic reaction. SVC syndrome can rapidly progress to airway compromise and increased intracranial pressure, requiring urgent medical intervention such as radiation or stent placement.
