41 | Help, my patient is yellow! How to stabilise and care for IMHA patients

When I say 'IMHA', what comes to mind?

For me, it's the most challenging case I have ever cared for: a patient who had such severe anaemia that their jaundice made them neurological, earning them a few days on a propofol CRI due to seizures.

Whilst not every IMHA case is like this—thankfully—these patients do need intensive nursing care and monitoring, and with this, there are many skills we can use when caring for them.

But to do that, we first need to understand IMHA, how it affects our patients, and how we manage it—exactly what we're covering in this episode.
