Neonatal Blood Transfusion
Neonatal Intensive Care Treatment in Yeshwanthpur
Newborns, especially those with extremely low birth weights, commonly get blood transfusions. More than 92% of infants weighing less than 1000 grams in the neonatal critical care unit would require one or more transfusions of red blood cells. Additionally, for the course of their stay in the NICU, around 60% of neonates with relatively low birth weights require red blood cell transfusions.
Neonatal blood transfusion is a careful process. It is overseen by neonatologists, pediatric specialists, and trained nursing personnel. Before the transfusion, the baby's blood type is identified, and donor blood is precisely matched to reduce the chance of bad responses. Screening tests, like crossmatching & compatibility checks, are performed to confirm the transfusion's effectiveness and safety. Furthermore, Parents and legal guardians are also informed about how it works, possible risks, and positive aspects. Before each transfusion, informed permission is acquired. An appropriate vascular access location is created during the process, typically through a tiny vein in the neonate's hand or foot. The blood or parts of it are progressively administered into the neonate's circulation using a specially designed infusion device. The process is continuously watched to avoid difficulties. After the transfusion, blood pressure, blood oxygen level, and other important indicators are constantly monitored to detect any adverse responses or problems. Ensuring the newborn's well-being following the transfusion necessitates close observation and follow-up treatment.
