Pronunciation: [ɛkst͡ʃˈe͡ɪnd͡ʒ tɹansfjˈuːʒən] (IPA) 
Exchange transfusion is a medical procedure in which a person's blood is removed and an equal amount of donor blood is infused into their bloodstream. Some synonyms for exchange transfusion include: blood exchange, plasma exchange, blood replacement therapy, and erythrocyte exchange. These procedures are usually done in cases where the patient has severe anemia, hemolytic disease, jaundice, or other blood disorders. An exchange transfusion helps to remove the excess bilirubin, antibodies, or toxic substances from the bloodstream and replaces it with fresh, healthy blood. It is an effective way to treat and manage these conditions, and doctors may suggest it if other treatments have not been successful.
