Blood Bank
ILS hospitals offer life-saving support to cancer patients recovering from chemotherapy, which results in blood cell depletion. Our blood bank is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to ensure vital transfusions for patients’ survival. All standard precautions are undertaken to ensure that every blood product is safe and effective for use.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy require regular blood transfusions. Our blood bank ensures an uninterrupted supply of pure and healthy blood, plasma, and platelets, depending on the specific needs of cancer patients.
Our experienced staff works with the blood bank to ensure timely and appropriate transfusions, minimize complications, and enhance the patient’s response to treatment. Screening tests are carried out on the blood samples to ensure safety during administration.
Services We Offer:
Blood Transfusion Services
- Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusions: We offer these to patients with anemia caused by cancer treatments, like chemotherapy or radiation. They help increase oxygen delivery to tissues and improve overall energy levels.
- Platelet transfusions: These are provided to patients with low platelet counts, a common side effect of chemotherapy, to prevent bleeding and manage clotting disorders.
- Fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) transfusions: We treat patients with clotting problems or bleeding disorders resulting from cancer or its treatment.
- Stem cell and bone marrow Support: Our blood bank supports stem cell and bone marrow transplants by providing compatible blood products and maintaining careful matching procedures, all while ensuring the safety and efficacy of transplants.
- Cross-matching and compatibility testing: We perform these procedures to ensure that blood products are compatible with the patient’s immune system. This is especially crucial for individuals who may require frequent blood transfusions during their treatment.
- Blood product screening: We screen blood products for infectious diseases. Cancer patients with compromised immune systems rely on safe, screened blood products.
- Autologous blood donation: Patients can donate their blood before undergoing treatment (such as chemotherapy or surgery). This blood is stored and later used for transfusions during or after treatment, reducing the risk of complications associated with donor blood.
- Support for stem cell transplantation: Our blood bank provides the necessary blood components during and after stem cell transplants for hematologic cancers. It ensures an adequate blood supply to manage side effects and promote recovery.
- Emergency blood supply: In cases of acute blood loss or severe complications during cancer treatments, our blood bank ensures an emergency supply of blood products to address the patient’s immediate needs.
