An Exchange Transfusion Formula

An Exchange Transfusion Formula Abstract Introduction The purpose of this paper is to present a simple formula permitting rapid calculation of the following data essential to the performance of an exchange transfusion for an infant, child, or adult: (a) the volume of donor blood needed; (b) the length of time required to perform the exchange transfusion; (c) the number of "unit exchanges" required; (d) the per cent exchange effected.The formula will be presented after a discussion of background material essential to its effective application.
