Question
Is neonatal blood exchange after blood transfusion complex? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to recover? Please help me!
Answer
Generally, such a situation does not occur, and the likelihood of it happening is very low. It is mainly caused by conditions such as fetal incompatibility of blood types. If the mother has O-type blood, this situation is easy to cause hemolysis. The purpose of blood exchange is to replace the sensitized red blood cells and antibodies in the blood to prevent further hemolysis; reduce the concentration of unbound bilirubin in the serum to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy; correct anemia, and prevent heart failure. It is recommended that you communicate with the doctor in detail.
