Pre-transplant care The pediatric BMT service offers pre-transplant care, such as transplant-type decision-making and multidisciplinary testing to prepare the donor and the patient for the procedure. Transplant accommodations Transplants are performed in specially designed rooms to accommodate the unique needs of children and to protect the patient from life-threatening infections; rooms feature positive pressure and air filtration systems.Departmental bone marrow transplant services offer essential medical expertise and complementary services to patients with complex health conditions. Post-transplant care Following the transplant, the patient returns home and remains under close, extended follow-up by the Post-BMT Clinic. During this recovery period, the patient is monitored for successful acceptance of the transplant, tracked for immune system recovery, and treated for potential complications.
