Patient's question:
Newborn anesthesia hepatitis B immune globulin has been at room temperature for almost an hour and a half. Is it still effective? It's the time from when it was purchased and returned to the nurse. The room temperature is around 20 degrees. Can it still be used?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is never the case. Vaccine storage is typically at 2-8 degrees Celsius, but it can be placed at room temperature before use to prevent it from being too cold during anesthesia. It is recommended that it should not be left in the room for too long; about an hour will not have too much impact. Hepatitis B can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light foods. It is hoped that hepatitis B patients can receive professional treatment.
