12 Babies Sd By Draining Blood, Refilling Veins |

Surgeons Combat Deadly Malady by Using Complicated System of Pumps, Special Bank

By JAMES MAHONY

United Press Staff Correspondent BOSTON, Dec. 9.—Surgeons at Children’s hospital here have saved the lives of 12 newborn babies afflicted with the mysterious and deadly RH condition by draining tie infants’ blood and replacing it with new blood, it was disclosed today. The latest case was that of Diane Seavey, Wakefield, Mass. She was born nine days. ago with all the characteristics of the malady. Jaundiced and pale, the child's red blood count was less than one-half of normal. Doctors said that a few months ago she would have: died. Compiicated System of Pumps However, using a new, cemplicated system of pumps and blood from a special bank established three months ago, the infant's blood was drained from her body and replaced with new blood in less than an hour. The. operation has been ~ done only at Children’s hospital. A team of 20 doctors and scientisfs there have been working on the condition known as erythomlastosis. Special plastic tubes were introduced nw the childs navel and threaded up to her heart. Small amounts of plood were pumped into her body and lesser amounts of the child's own blood was drawn off.

directly

This procedure was continued until the infant's whole system had Leen flooded with new blood to replace that which apparently had doomed her, Less than 24 hours after the transfusion was completed Diane's complexion had cleared. A few days later she was allowed to go home with her mother, who already had lost one previous child as a result of the RH condition. The RH factor is found in about 85 per cent of the white population. It is the other 15 per cent who incause the trouble. Their RH negative blood sets’ ‘up antibodies when it comes in contact with the blood from RH positive humans. This happened with Mrs. Murray Seavey and her child. Poisons Child's Blood The mother had RH negative blood which meant that during pregnancy her blood was poisoning and destroying the blood of the child while it still was in the womb. As pregnancy developed, more and more of the baby’s blood was poisoned .by the anti-bodies being manufactured by the mother. The positive blood of the child was replaced in the transfusion by special RH negative blood gathered and held at Children's hospital for emergencies. The special blood ban! was developed by the hospital as one of the steps in the formation of & $10 million Children's Medical center, Cold Weather Will End ‘Spring’ Here Springtime in December, which ghot temperatures to record highs yesterday and Saturday, will depart tomorrow under the sweep of cool air masses from the northwest.
