Before a patient with uterine fibroids with anemia, for the first time Vinmec used drugs to stimulate bone marrow to increase red blood cell production instead of blood transfusion as usual to solve the patient's anemia problem.
This anemia treatment regimen differs from classic treatment regimens such as blood transfusion in that. Transfusion of blood for anemic people will bring the effect of replenishing red blood cells, but there is also the downside of having a blood transfusion accident and the recipient is also at risk of contracting infectious diseases through blood transfusion. In particular, the number of red blood cells obtained by blood transfusion is also not sustainable because the red blood cells after being infused into the body will die and decompose, at which time the patient will become anemic again.
2 weeks after taking the drug, the patient with anemia has reached the required red blood cell threshold and is indicated for surgery, the surgery is successful and the patient with anemia also recovers quickly.
After treatment, the erythrocyte status increased very positively, the preoperative test parameters were completely normal, and after surgery the indexes did not decrease.
After 2 days of surgery, the patient with anemia recovered. The results of anemia treatment are spectacular, bringing practical benefits in the context that the blood supply from the blood bank is not always available and plentiful.
Currently, Vinmec has applied anemia treatment for patients who have to undergo gynecological surgery with anemia. In the future, it will expand to surgical patients such as orthopedic, cardiac... This will help limit blood transfusion for patients, increase surgical efficiency.
