Exchange transfusion

Risks:

General risks are the same as with any transfusion. Other possible complications include:

  • heart and respiratory problems
  • shock due to inadequate replacement of blood
  • infection (greatly decreased risk due to careful screening of blood)
  • clot formation
  • alterations in blood chemistry (high or low potassium, low calcium, low glucose, change in pH)
