Ambulatory care after bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
1New England Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA.
Abstract:
Close follow-up care for the patient who has received either a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is essential for the first year after the transplantation. The patient can experience many side effects, such as compromised immune system, graft versus host disease, veno-occlusive disease, and infertility. The role of the clinic or homecare nurse is to provide thorough assessment so as to detect treatable problems early and to identify nontreatable problems that might be affecting the patient's quality of life.
