Patient Guide to Stem Cell Transplantation
Our Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Center care team have put together information to help you prepare in advance by learning and understanding what to expect with the transplantation process.
Preparing You for Your Transplant
The following videos provide guidance on what to expect and how to prepare for your stem cell transplantation procedure.
What to Expect for Your Bone Marrow Transplant
Learn what to expect leading up to and during a bone marrow transplant, and during recovery after the procedure.
How to Change Central Line Dressing
Dressings are special bandages that block germs and keep your central venous catheter site dry and clean. Watch the video to learn how to change your dressing.
How to Flush Your Central Line
A central venous catheter must be flushed every day to keep it clear of blood and prevent clotting. Watch the video to learn how to flush your central line.
Getting Ready for Stem Cell Collection
Learn what to do three days prior, the day before, and the morning of a stem cell collection, and what to expect during the process and how long it will take.
Please view the video at least three days before your scheduled collection. If you have any questions about your scheduled stem cell collection, please call 404-712-7028.
This education is intended for particular Emory Healthcare stem cell collection patients. If your care provider did not recommend this video to you, it may not apply to your particular experience or care plan.
