Cord blood transplants can do amazing things for people with very difficult diseases. A cord blood transplant does complex work inside the body, and preparation and recovery is hard work for both the patient and the doctor, so it might be surprising to know that despite such a transplant being one of modern medicine's most amazing treatments, the procedure itself is quite simple when compared to major surgery like a joint replacement or solid organ transplant. • • Read more about cord blood transplants here: http://www.health.umn.edu/healthtalk/... • • On the day of the infusion, the cord blood is prepared for transplant by lab specialists. It is thawed, processed, and put in a bag that looks similar to one for an IV medication or a blood transfusion. When the cells are ready, a cooler is used to transport it to the unit where the patient will be infused. • Video produced by: Miranda Taylor
