The complications associated with hyperbiliru-binemia occur when bilirubin levels reach toxic levels, and the bilirubin gets into the central nervous system, damages the brain, destroy another organs and systems.

For this purpose, a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 34 children who underwent replacement blood transfusion in the neonatal intensive care unit in 2018 was carried out. In 70% of cases replacement blood transfusions were carried out according to the appropriate protocols and favorable results were obtained.
