2 Home care. Early discharge Introduction Major HSCT complications Discharge criteria Home care. Our experience Nurses role. 2

3 HSCT Paediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation has evolved over the past decade and is now an accepted and successful intensive therapy for a wide range of disorders in children. 3

4 Historical markers : the beginning of the Modern Era of human marrow transplantation. - Improved antibiotics : widening application of allogeneic marrow grafting for human patients. - Increasing knowledge of HLA. 4

5 Historical markers present: haematopoietic cell transplantation as standard therapy. - Cyclophosphamide and busulfan. - Peripheral blood or cord blood. - Donors registries. 4

6 Major HSCT complications, first month Conditioning Infusion day Mucositis Bacteraemia Veno-occlusive diseasse Herpes Simplex Virus, Herpes 6 Disseminated fungal infections Acute GVHD Vomiting, diarrhea, fever, pain Days

7 Major HSCT complications, first year Herpes Simplex Virus, Herpes 6 Disseminated fungal infections Aspergillus Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) Acute GVHD Chronic GVHD Vomiting, diarrhea, fever, pain Days

8 Discharge from Unit Engrafted (the ANC exceeded 0.5 x10 9 /l) Afebrile No significant infections or treatment related complications Without signs of bleeding (platelet count more than 10x10 9 /l) Able to take PO meds No pain or well controlled 7

9 Paediatric Oncologic Unit. is a reference centre for Comunidad Valenciana. We carry out an average of 25 transplants per year (autologus and allogenic including cord blood transplant). The most common underlying disease are ALL, AML and high risk Neuroblastoma. 8

10 Autologous: Types of transplants peripheral blood stem cell autologous bone marrow transplant Allogeneics: related unrelated cord blood transplant 9

11 Types of transplants Autologus Males (%) Females(%) (63.01%) 27 (36.99%) Allogeneic (71.11%) 13 (28.89%) 10

34 Conclusion : nurses role-1 to support home care, allowing children to return home early following BMT to facilitate early discharge for the child and family to provide assessment and monitoring of the child after discharge 32

35 Conclusion : nurses role 2 to ensure appropriate education and information is given and reinforced to enable parents to feel confident and competent when caring for their child to make effective links within the day care hospital, primary care team, health care team and between hospital and community 33

36 Conclusion : nurses role 3 Major problems still need to be solved : >relapse after transplant >graft rejection >more effective and less toxic conditioning regimen >improve control of GvHD 34

37 Conclusion : nurses role 4 Nurses are vital in orchestrating the complicated care these therapies mandate, as well as providing emotional support to patients and their families. 34

38 Conclusion : nurses role 5 Nursing research is being conducted in many areas of marrow transplantation. Quality-of-life and survivor issues have been identified as priorities by many nurses working in this field. Nurses will continue to play a pivotal role in caring for patients as marrow transplantation continues to evolve as a major form of cancer treatment. 34
