Bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy procedures are generally safe, with a low incidence of adverse events. This study identified risk factors to improve patient safety during these hematological procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Medical Procedures
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy are common diagnostic procedures in hematology.
  • Assessing the morbidity and mortality associated with these procedures is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey the morbidity and mortality associated with bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy.
  • To identify risk factors for adverse events in these procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective survey of 53 centers in the UK over 12 months (2002).
  • Data collected on 13,506 bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy procedures.
  • Analysis of reported adverse events, including complications and outcomes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • 17 adverse events reported out of 13,506 procedures.
  • Most common adverse events were hemorrhage (9) and infection (4).
  • Two needles broke; one patient experienced prolonged pain; two deaths and one life-threatening event were potentially linked to adverse events.

Conclusions:

  • Bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy carry a low risk of serious adverse events.
  • Identification of risk factors can guide strategies to enhance patient safety.
  • Continued monitoring and reporting are essential for improving procedural safety in hematology.
