Clin Exp Pediatr. 2017;60(4):106-111.   Published online April 25, 2017
Purpose

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency among infants with neonatal indirect hyperbilirubinemia (NIH); compare G6PD-deficient and G6PD-normal patients regarding hyperbilirubinemia and need for exchange transfusions (ET); and assess risk factors for ET and kernicterus.

Methods

This is a case-control retrospective study. Medical records of NIH patients admitted to the Pediatric Department, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain, between...

Although sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is often used in pediatric intensive care units, cyanide toxicity can occur after SNP treatment. To treat SNP-induced cyanide poisoning, antidotes such as amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate, and hydroxycobalamin should be administered immediately after diagnosis. Here, we report the first case of a very young infant whose SNP-induced cyanide poisoning was successfully treated by...

Exchange Transfusion Using Percutaneous Femoral Vein Catheterization in Neonates: Comparison with Umbilical Vein Catheterization
Song-Ja Kim, Hyang-Ok Woo, Seung-Hwan Kim, Mi-Ryeong Kim, Sun-Kyeong Sin, Hee-Shang Youn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(2):180-184.   Published online February 15, 1994
Traditionally umbilical vein has been used for exchange transfusion in neonates. This method is relatively safe and effective but with a few complications. So via percutaneous femoral vein catheters we tried exchange transfusion in 30 patients with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia admitted to GNUH from September 1990 to August 1992. Femoral vein catheterization succeeded in 2~3 trials. In all cases high bilirubin level...

A clinical study on the effects of exchange transfusion on disseminated intravascular coagulation was conducted on 32 patients with DIC who were admitted to the pediatric department of YUMC from January 1984 to June 1989. We diagnosed DIC when symptoms were compatible to the diagnosis and there were more than 3 abnormal laboratory findings out of the following 5, which were platelet count, PT,...

A clinical observation was performed on patients with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia who were treated by exchange transfusion, and following results were obtained. Exchange transfusion was performed in 31 cases (8% of 383 csases admitted due to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia during the observation period). There was no sex predominance (male 16, female 15). Most common type of delivery was normal varginal delivery (22 cases, 71%). Birth weight of 17...
Acid-Base and Electrolyte Change Before and After Exchange Transfusion with ACD-B Blood in Hyperbilirubinemia of Newborn.
Ki Hong Park, Chong Woo Bae, Yong Mook Choi, Chang Ill Ahn, Jung Kook Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(3):311-320.   Published online March 31, 1989
Exchange transfusion is being used widely to correct anemia and control existing hyperbilirubinemia for the prevention of kernicterus in newborn. But the blood used for exchange transfusion is stored blood containing anticoagulants and other substances. So many metabolic changes can be developed after exchange transfusion. This study was undertaken to evaluate the acid-base and electrolyte change after exchange transfusion using the ACD-B blood. In...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(5):535-542.   Published online May 31, 1986
Jaundice occurs rather frequently in neonatal period, and yet the irreversible complication, kernicterus, may occur in severe cases with pathologic jaundice, from which the patients are at high risk for mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and even death. To prevent this complication, aggressive measures have been used for the neonatal janudice, such as phototherapy and exchange transfusion. Exchange transfusion has been...
