Objectives:
To provide a comprehensive review of the acute complications that occur during the first 100 days post stem cell transplant (SCT).
Data Sources:
Research studies, book chapters, websites, and articles.
Conclusion:
Even though the outcomes for SCT continue to improve, the complications seen in the first 100 days post transplant are a significant cause of mortality. Astute nursing assessment with resultant early intervention improves treatment-related mortality.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Because SCT patients are seen in every oncology care setting, knowledge of these acute complications is essential to helping the nurse care for and educate SCT recipients.
