“Double Volume Blood Exchange Transfusion” has very promising results and a major role in many diseases if used in time and under expert supervision. Not only in Bilirubin Encephalopathy and Severe Sepsis but also in Severe Non-Immune Hydrops.
Received one call from peripheral unit regarding a newborn baby,3.4 kg, with generalized edema and respiratory distress, baby was shifted with ICU on wheels by Team Orange in the middle of the night one week back. The baby had Non-Immune Hydrops with severe respiratory distress due to pleural and pericardial effusion with ascites. Baby’s Hb level was 4 mg/dl (normal levels: 15-23 mg/dl) with impending congestive cardiac failure, hence central lines were secured, and “Double volume exchange transfusion” was performed over the night under extreme care and aseptic precautions on very “1st 5 hours” of life. The baby required Ventilator support for 3 days followed by HHHFNC support.
Pediatric Hemato oncologist opinion was taken for detailed evaluation. A presumptive diagnosis of Placental chorioangioma was made. The baby recovered tremendously with medical management and utmost care in NICU. Did not require any further invasive procedures and improved gradually.
Mother, baby, and our team everyone is happy today on the day of discharge.
