Abstract

Management of treatment in cancer patients is still dominated by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a method used to reach cancer cells so that cell growth can be inhibited and controlled. Implementation of this action with side effects that can cause nausea and vomiting, thereby affecting the nutritional balance. Other nausea effects of vomiting can also cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, risk of aspiration and stress. Reducing the effects that occur in these patients, pharmacology given with the appropriate dose. The administration of nausea and vomiting drugs is only given by only looking at clinical manifestations without first detecting the gastric acid of the cancer patient. This research was a development research that used to develop a prototype pH sensor in detecting hydrochloric acid. The research began by analyzing needs, making product planning, and developing product prototypes to testing limited to cancer patients. The development of prototypes designed in this study began by using a pH sensor whose data will be read on a pH analog. Signal data from the pH sensor can be raised on the LCD prototype. Hydrochloric acid detection devices can be used by the physician-nurse team as a diagnostic device to provide both pharmacological and non- pharmacological care to cancer patients.
