A CRITICAL CARE ANALYSIS ON PATIENT WITH HAEMOPHILIA- CASE STUDY METHOD.

Abstract

Haemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by deficiencies in coagulation factors, leading to abnormal bleeding. Haemophilia B, caused by Factor IX deficiency, often manifests through early signs such as gum bleeding, easy bruising, and fever. Aims and objectives: This study aims to conduct a critical care analysis of a haemophilia patient, focusing on clinical manifestations, early warning signs, treatment interventions, family coping strategies, and discharge planning. Methodology: A qualitative case study approach was used, with a non-probability purposive sampling method, focusing on a haemophilia patient from a selected hospital in Pune. The sample size comprised a single paediatric patient. Results: Key findings include the identification of early warning signs like gum bleeding and bruising. Immediate treatment with Factor IX replacement therapy was administered. Family strategies, including protective measures, were observed, but challenges related to emotional well-being and social isolation were noted. Gaps in discharge planning and follow-up were identified, pointing to systemic issues in patient care continuity. Conclusion: Effective haemophilia management requires early intervention, structured treatment protocols, and comprehensive family education.
