    The document discusses exchange blood transfusion, providing a brief history, definitions, indications, equipment needed, procedures, monitoring, post-care, complications, controversies, and recent trends. Exchange blood transfusion involves simultaneously withdrawing a recipient's blood and transfusing donor blood to replace the recipient's blood, and can be used to treat severe hyperbilirubinemia, anaemia, sepsis, and other conditions. The procedure requires careful monitoring for potential complications like metabolic disturbances, cardiovascular issues, infections, and more.

    The document discusses the history, definitions, indications, procedure, monitoring, complications and recent trends of exchange blood transfusion.

    The document lists several indications for exchange blood transfusion including severe hyperbilirubinemia, severe anemia, sepsis, DIC, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, hyperparasitemia in malaria, and vasocclusive cases in sickle cell disease.

    Equipment needed for exchange blood transfusion includes masks, sterile gowns and gloves, umbilical catheters or cannulas, IV sets, dressing packs, sterile drapes, hematology and biochemistry bottles and request forms, blood waste bags, and heparin flush.

    BRIEF HISTORY Hart (1925) Superior Sagittal Sinus (out) and Sapherious Vein (in). Werner & Wexlar (1946) Radial Artery( out )and Saphenous Vein (in) Diamond (1946) Umbilical Vein (out and in) Sanchez (1960) Umbilical Venous cut down

    DEFINITION: Simultaneous (isovolumetric type) or cyclical (discontinuous type) withdrawal of the recipients blood and

    transfusion with the donors blood. When a


    recipients blood is replaced with crystalloids or colloids, it is partial exchange. Synonyms: *Substitution transfusion

    *Replacement transfusion
    *Exsanguination transfusion

    INDICATIONS 1. In severe hyperbilirubinema * In hemolytic disease at birth if PCV <45% with +ve DCT, serum bilirubin> 5mg/dl or reticulocyte > 15% * Rate of bilirubin rise > 0.5mg/dl/hr or >5mg/dl/day. * Kernicterus, irrespective of serum bilirubin level

    * In preterm LBW babies, rule of 10 * Lower values of bilirubin in the presence of complication eg. hypoalbuminema, asphyxia, acidosis, hypoxia, hypothermia, sepsis, IVH, hypoglycaemia. * Serum bilirubin close to exchange value for > 36hrs.

    8. Vasocclusive Cases in SCD * Priapism in Maiduguri (Ahmed SG et al 2002) After 6units complete detumescence - 95% Hbs 30.3% Hbs * Prevents the 1st stroke and also recurrence e.g. The 9yr girl from Ilesha (Senbanjo et al 2005)

    9. Hyperparasitemia in Malaria * Especially with early end organ failure * Whole blood or reconstituted red cells * Single, 1.5% or double volume * 70% 2% in parasites

    CARDIORESPIRATORY - Volume overload - Arrhythmia - Apnea - Cardiac arrest - Hypotension - Bradycardia

    GIT - Bowel perforation - Inspissated bile syndrome - NEC VASCULAR Portal vein thrombosis and hypertension - Umbilical vessel perforation - Portal abscess - Vasospasm - IVH.

    COMPLICATION OF BLOOD PRODUCTS -Infection -Thrombocytopenia -Air embolism -Thromboembolism -Anaemia (early & late) -GVH reaction

    Prevalence of complications 3% of neonates have transfusion reaction usually mild Significant morbidity 5% ( in recent times). Deaths 3 in 1000 procedures (highly dependent on premorbid state).

    CONTROVERSIES Use of calcium gluconate Benefit in kernicterus RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Automation faster, wastes less blood, less circulatory fluctuation, more aseptic. Procedures are less frequent.
