Novel device for automating exchange transfusions through umbilical venous route in neonates
Abstract
Abstract
Manually performed double-volume exchange transfusion (DVET) is tedious, error-prone, and may incur the risk of embolism. We aimed to develop a device that automates the DVET procedure performed through the umbilical venous route. We evaluated changes in blood passing through the device during DVET. We developed an electro-mechanical device with accessories (tubing and valve assembly) to perform a complete DVET. It comprises two …
