Abstract

During a five and a half year period, exchange transfusions were performed through the peripheral vessels in 201 of the 214 infants (94%) who required either double volume or partial plasma exchange transfusions. Peripheral vessel exchange transfusion is simple, practicable, and safe with few complications. Technical difficulties in catheterising the peripheral artery and vein may be overcome by using a 24 gauge catheter, which causes no more catheter induced haemolysis than standard umbilical catheters.
