Exchange transfusion Phototherapy Abstract Despite efforts to eliminate permanent and irreversible brain damage due to bilirubin encephalopathy and kernic- terus, these conditions continue to accompany us into the third millennium. This phenomenon occurs not only in de- veloping countries with emerging...

.... The antioxidant capacity of neonatal plasma was measured in Trolox equivalents (TEAC, mmol/l) and correlated in vitro with plasma bilirubin concentrations (r 2 = 0.99). Plasma TEAC was compared before and after exchange transfusions for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (250–435 μmol/l). The antioxidant properties...

...Sarolta Hervei; Teréz Malik; Mária Rötfalusy The changes of acid-base values of 60 mature and premature neonates treated by exchange transfusion were followed. It could be shown that the blood conserves having acidic pH values caused no acidosis if the acid-base balance of the patients had been...

...Agnes Cser; R.D.G. Milner Twenty exchange transfusions for hyperbilirubinaemia were performed via the umbilical vein or artery in 17 term and pre-term infants. Blood preserved with acid citrate and dextrose was used and the effect of the route of transfusion on plasma glucose, free fatty acid...

... withdrawal and infusion via central vascular lines may cause MABP changes and, possibly, CBF alterations in these patients. A significant effect of exchange transfusion (push-pull method) via the umbilical venous catheter (UVC) on MABP and cerebral blood volume (CBV) has been demonstrated using near infrared...

... monitor) were studied during exchange transfusion using the push-pull method in the newborn lamb. Changes in mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), Q car , heart rate (HR), and ECBA were observed during all exchange transfusions: MABP, Q car , and ECBA decreased during the withdrawal period and increased...
