Apheresis therapy is used extensively in the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program. These “cell separator” machines isolate key constituents from donor blood so they can be safely administered to the recipient.
Intraoperative Ultrasound
This imaging technology helps guide surgeons during cancer operations – allowing them to accurately remove tumours and take biopsies.
Anesthesia Machine and Monitor
Anaesthesia machines deliver precisely the right amount of anaesthetizing and life-sustaining gases to patients in surgery. Without them, our surgeons and other specialists would be unable to provide life-changing treatment for their patients, whose lives depend on the skills of anaesthesiologists to safeguard their vital signs.
Thanks to the donations like ours medical experts at VGH and UBC Hospital have the tools they need to diagnose and treat patients from across the province with some of the most complex, serious and life threatening diseases and conditions.
