exchange transfusion

Exchange transfusion is a medical procedure used to treat certain blood disorders, such as severe jaundice or abnormal red blood cells. It involves carefully removing some of the patient's blood and replacing it with donated blood or plasma. This helps reduce harmful substances like excess bilirubin or abnormal cells, improving the patient's condition. The process is closely monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness. It’s commonly used in newborns or patients with specific blood diseases to restore healthier blood levels and prevent complications.
