Leukapheresis in management of hyperleukocytosis in children's leukemias.
We describe 16 leukapheresis (LK) procedures performed in 7 children with different types of leukemia and hyperleukocytosis.

متن کاملHypoxemia During Extreme Hyperleukocytosis: How Spurious?
BACKGROUND Spurious hypoxemia has been described in case reports during extreme hyperleukocytosis and has led to recommendations for immediate cooling and analysis of arterial blood gases (ABGs). We sought to determine, in samples processed as recommended, the magnitude of spurious hypoxemia in acute leukemia subjects with hyperleukocytosis. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted ...
