Pick one hematological disorder covered in this module. For this disorder, identify and describe three treatment strategies for the disorder.
What challenges could arise in carrying out these strategies and providing care to the patient?
What interventions could be utilized in order to overcome these challenges?
Hematological disorder
3. Immune Tolerance Induction – High dose infusion administered intravenously over prolonged course lasting several months followed by regular maintenance infusions given every 3-4 weeks helps develop immune tolerance so that even small amounts given regularly lead to sustained protection against bleeds without mobilizing too much clotting factor out of circulation creating imbalance leading towards thrombotic events..
Challenges : Expensive procedure requiring extensive hospitalization with associated risks related with high dose/concentrated infusions , difficult dosing schedule involving multiple infusions within short course duration similar to chemotherapy regimens , long term follow up required post induction treatment along with regular maintenance therapy prescribed thereafter .
Interventions : Providing finance support programs including third party insurers ; closely monitoring patient responses via remote technologies during initial preparative phase ; optimizing schedules by combining treatments like chemoembolisation & immune tolerance induction together whenever feasible ; incorporating lifestyle modifications like exercise programmes which help increase muscle strength & improve joint flexibility thereby reducing bleeding episodes due injury trauma etc.; using alternative technologies like gene therapy & enzyme replacement therapies where available instead as these may prove less costly , shorter duration courses compared ITI therapy but still achieve desired results .
