- <p><span>Bone marrow is a vital element of the human body that produces blood cells. It includes stem cells capable of developing into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These cells are necessary for transporting oxygen, combating infections, and clotting blood, respectively. A bone marrow transplant (BMT) is a medical procedure that involves infusing healthy blood-forming stem cells into the human body to replace bone marrow that is not producing enough healthy blood cells. Bone marrow transplantation is also known as stem cell transplantation. If bone marrow ceases to function and produces insufficient healthy blood cells, transplantation may be required.<span> </span>BMT can involve cells from own body (autologous transplant) or those from a donor (allogeneic transplant). In the field of nursing, BMT is a standard practice used to treat ailments such as leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood diseases. Nurses play an important part in this procedure, from pre-transplant preparation to post-transplant management. Nurses monitor patients for problems, treat symptoms, and offer emotional support to patients and their families.</span></p>
