To evaluate the value-based effectiveness of the implementation of TMH Extended post anaesthetic care in PACU during COVID-19 pandemics by an institutional matched case-control and quantitative survey study Two ordinary recovery beds were converted to an overnight intensive recovery ("Extended post-anesthetic care in PACU") within the operating theatre complex of Tuen Mun Hospital during COVID-19 pandemics, in an attempt to free the ICU bed and resources from postoperative patients. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and staff perceptions towards the abrupt implementation of TMH extended post-anesthetic care in PACU by mobilization of the existing OT resources to cope with the COVID-19 emergency situations. The value-based analysis would look into the implementation effectiveness in twofold: 1) the clinical efficacy using a case-control audit on clinical outcomes and 2) the staff acceptance by means of the staff attitudes survey. Hopefully, this would provide a multi-perspective evaluation of the implementation strategies and aid planning of new services in the future.
NCT00045305
RATIONALE: Photopheresis treats the patient's blood with drugs and ultraviolet light outside the body and kills the white blood cells. Giving photopheresis, pentostatin, and radiation therapy before a donor bone marrow or stem cell transplant helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving pentostatin before transplant and cyclosporine or mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pentostatin together with photopheresis and total-body irradiation work before donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.
