Recovery

Recovery from an adult bone marrow transplant needs a long time and the supervision of various doctors. For a full and healthy recovery from an adult bone marrow transplant, it is essential to follow the instructions of your surgeon. Probably the most important stage in recovery for the patients of Bone marrow transplant is proper isolation, consultation, cleanliness, diet and rest. It is common for the patient to feel extremely exhausted and weak after going through a Bone marrow transplant procedure. A bone marrow transplant aftercare package for adults is specially curated by our team for overall recovery under the guidance of specialized experts.

Key stages of Recovery

You will have to go through chemotherapy treatment for 8-10 days before undergoing a bone marrow transplant. This therapy is called conditioning and is important for the body to create new bone marrow cells. However, it may leave the body weak and prone to certain side effects. After the surgical intervention, you must be kept in an isolated, sanitized and protected environment. Attention has to be paid to a lot of medical parameters to ensure you are recovering well under the guidance of the experts. We have determined some of the key stages for bone marrow transplant patients to recover right.

Stage 1: Until 4 weeks

    • Every patient has a different recovery speed depending on the factors such as body weight, age and comorbidities. The initial 30-35 days after a bone marrow transplant are extremely crucial and therefore you will be kept in the hospital under the care of doctors and experts in this phase.
    • During this phase, you are most prone to infections and/or post-surgical complications as the body is weak and low on immunity. You will be kept in isolated wards with all the hygiene parameters in place.
    • The immune system remains weak long after the surgery. So, you will be kept on regular medications to keep infections at bay. Blood transfusions may also be required.
    • In the initial weeks (2-4 weeks), your doctors will frequently test your blood to check for engraftment. They might also take a small sample of your bone marrow for this process.
    • In case of an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (taken from a foreign body), you will be administered immunosuppressive medicines to avoid rejection for the rest of your life.
    • The patient is usually discharged from the hospital after meeting certain criteria, including specific blood cell counts and no fever for 2 days, but must revisit for scheduled follow up sessions.

Stage 2: Up to 3 months

    • The patient must be kept in a safe and isolated environment at home after discharge as they have weak immunity and are highly prone to infections.
    • You are expected to undergo a series of blood tests and other pathological tests to check the status of new cell formation in the body and avoid any side effects and infections.
    • You have to remain attentive towards some primary indicators of infections or post-surgical complications such as Sores, diarrhea, unexpected bleeding, Chills, fever, continuous coughing, nausea and vomiting, trouble eating, hair loss, lung or breathing problems, etc.
    • Diet is a very important part of recovery. It is crucial to take a diet that has multivitamins and nutrients and avoid foods that are commonly known for food-borne infections. Taking a balanced diet is a determinant of fast recovery. A nutritionist can help build a diet plan for you with all the right nutrition and water intake requirements.
    • At this stage of recovery, you are expected to be dealing with a lot of specialists, including a surgeon, nutritionist, rehabilitation specialist and psychologist to help you sail through the treatment process comfortably.

Stage 3: From 3 to 12 months

    • At this stage, you will have to go through multiple therapies or treatment modalities.
    • You will be in constant touch with an immunologist throughout the recovery process and also have sessions with a hematologist.
    • It is advised to undergo a routine blood test examination as well as other pathological and radiology examinations to confirm that there are no signs of infections or any other complications.
    • Follow-up care includes lifestyle changes that will involve avoiding all sorts of activities for a while, avoiding direct sunlight, keeping the house extra clean and hygienic, special air filtered rooms, limited visitors and dietary restrictions.
    • A collaboration with the treating surgeon and nutritionist is required to lead a healthy life ahead. At this point, the follow-up frequency with the doctor may reduce to once every 1 month and eventually to once every 3 months.

Patients recovering from a Bone Marrow Transplant require continuous guidance, support and coaching to ensure they remain positive psychologically. Even though home care services are absolutely essential for immobile and critical patients who need physical assistance and 24x7 care and monitoring, the role of virtual care services cannot be ignored in providing them with mental and psychological support, in addition to clinical follow-ups regarding their treatment progress. 
 
In fact, virtual care services are also proven to be beneficial for patients who just had some form of surgery or treatment done. They may be completely mobile, independent and not in the need of home-care services, but the incidence of post-anaesthetic and post-operative psychosis in them is significant, especially in the geriatric population. This is where the role of virtual care services come into play.
 
Fact:Postoperative delirium is a quintessential geriatric complication (Inouyeetal2007). The incidence ranges from 9% to 87% depending on both the patient population and the degree of operative stress (DemeureandFain2006).
 
Moreover, virtual care services are about accessing the medical specialists from different areas of specialization to help you and guide you at every step of your recovery which cannot be fulfilled and delivered by the home care services for patients recovering from a Bone marrow transplant. 
 
With our years of experience in assisting patients, it has been our objective to offer the right blend of care services to our patients for assured recovery under the guidance of top medical specialists. A broader overview of value-based Virtual care delivery over Homecare Services
