description This descriptive, quantitative and prospective study aimed to describe the experience of the use of hypodermoclysis in patients receiving palliative care and treatment for pain, in a hospital which is a center of excellence in oncology, in the state of Parana. 16 participants were monitored from November 2008 through to September 2009; data collection was undertaken using a structured instrument and monitoring took place up until the use of hypodermoclysis was interrupted. The proportion of use of hypodermoclysis among the patients was 0.02%, and was carried out most commonly in the outpatient center of this speciality. The principal indication was the advanced stage of the disease (56.25%) and the drug most used was morphine (93.75%), and hypodermoclysis was used in 31.25% of the patients as a route of hydration. The use of this alternative route for administering fluids in palliative care in the hospital in question is low, and the adoption of a standard protocol and its dissemination could contribute to its use.
