Important considerations for patients after a bone marrow biopsy are listed below:
* Post-Sedation Restrictions: If the procedure was performed under sedation, avoid activities requiring concentration (e.g., driving a car or cycling) and hazardous occupations for the first 24 hours.
* Biopsy Site Care: The special bandage applied to the biopsy site can be removed after 24 hours. An additional dressing is usually not required.
* Bathing: To minimize the risk of infection, it is recommended to avoid bathing for 24 hours after the procedure.
