When performing cell infusion, it is essential to use an infusion set and follow the standard blood transfusion procedures. Before, during, and after the infusion, monitor the patient's body temperature, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure. When infusing cells, first flush the tube with 20-30 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride, and start the infusion at a rate of 20-30 drops per minute. After half an hour, if there are no adverse reactions, increase the rate to 30-50 drops per minute. During the cell infusion process, gently shake the cell bag once every 15 minutes. After the infusion is completed, flush the cell preservation bag with 20 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride and gently shake it. After that, use 0.9% sodium chloride to rinse the infusion set to remove the cells completely, to ensure the quantity of cell infusion.
