Neonates with total serum bilirubin within 3 mg/dL of exchange transfusion thresholds were identified as those with severe hyperbilirubinemia requiring potential intravenous immune globulin treatment.

ALTHOUGH most medical centers perform exchange transfusions on newborn infants if the bilirubin reaches levels of 18 to 20 mg. per 100 ml. in the first few days of life 1–4 there are many who ...

All CPQCC member hospitals are required to report any hyperbilirubinemia-related re-admissions within 28 days of birth with a TB ⩾ 25 mg dl −1 (428 μmol l −1) or an exchange transfusion ...

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia results from a predisposition to the production of bilirubin in newborn infants and their limited ability to excrete it. Infants, especially preterm infants, have ...

This change reflects new evidence that infants don't typically develop bilirubin neurotoxicity until the total serum bilirubin (TSB) reaches levels well above the previous exchange transfusion ...

An exchange transfusion is a medical procedure that’s done by removing and replacing your blood with blood or plasma from a donor. This is done by using a catheter to transport blood into your body.

We will update the NICE guideline on jaundice in newborn babies under 28 days. The update will focus on total serum bilirubin (TSB) thresholds for starting phototherapy or exchange transfusion in term ...

What does it mean to have high bilirubin? We’ll go over the meaning, symptoms, and causes of high bilirubin levels, as well as how to treat it.

3. Exchange Transfusion- In severe circumstances, where bilirubin levels are dangerously high, an exchange transfusion may be required.

However, our study also raises the question whether the threshold for exchange transfusion could be higher for infants with high bilirubin levels who are otherwise healthy and who have no other risk ...
