Outcome of Patients Requiring Medical ICU Admission Following Bone Marrow Transplantation: Discussion
We conclude that while the mortality rate for patients requiring mechanical ventilation after BMT is more than 96 percent for those patients without significant respiratory failure, there is a reasonable chance of MICU survival. Overall, 16 percent of patients required admission to the MICU after BMT. This figure varied from others reported in the literature; […]
Outcome of Patients Requiring Medical ICU Admission Following Bone Marrow Transplantation: Results
There were 229 BMTs performed at our institution (129 allogeneic transplants and 100 autologous transplants) between March 3, 1984 and March 26, 1991. During this period 36 of these patients (15.7 percent) had 43 admissions to the MICU. The admission data for these patients in terms of outcome are summarized in Table 1. There was […]
Outcome of Patients Requiring Medical ICU Admission Following Bone Marrow Transplantation: Methods
Over the past two decades, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has become accepted as a standard treatment modality in adults with aplastic anemia (AA), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), lymphoma, and certain solid tumors. Prior to BMT, patients receive conditioning regimens that include myeloablative chemotherapy often accompanied by total-body […]
