bone marrow transplant wards

How is the Recovery Process Managed?

Recovery in a BMT ward involves several stages:
1. Pre-Transplant Preparation: Patients undergo chemotherapy or radiation to destroy diseased cells and make room for new stem cells.
2. Transplant Day (Day 0): The actual infusion of healthy stem cells.
3. Engraftment Period: The time it takes for new stem cells to start producing healthy blood cells, usually 2-4 weeks.
4. Post-Transplant Care: Continuous monitoring for complications, managing side effects, and supporting immune recovery.
