Abstract
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is an essential medical procedure for patients suffering from hematological malignancies, genetic disorders like immunodeficiency disorders and thalassemia, as well as bone marrow failure diseases like aplastic anemia. Nevertheless, infection continues to be the primary cause of morbidity, mortality, hospitalization, and healthcare expenses. The prevention and appropriate control of infection in the context of BMT necessitate a comprehensive approach that involves not only the BMT physician, but also proficient nursing care and top-tier environmental hygiene practices.
In the specialized setting of a bone marrow transplant unit, rigorous infection control practices are paramount to safeguard the health and well-being of immunocompromised patients undergoing treatment. Given the heightened susceptibility of these individuals to infections, a comprehensive approach to infection prevention is imperative. This includes meticulous adherence to hand hygiene protocols, proper utilization of personal protective equipment, rigorous environmental cleaning and disinfection, and strict adherence to aseptic techniques during procedures. Additionally, close monitoring for signs of infection, prompt isolation of patients with communicable diseases, and effective communication among healthcare team members are essential components of infection control in this important setting. By upholding these rigorous infection control measures, healthcare professionals in the bone marrow transplant unit can minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections and optimize patient outcomes.
