Phisohex? Contribution to infant damage?

[Guest guest]

I am asking new questions of old events. The Age of Autism columns

have prompted my questions. And I wish I had retained what I studied

in school so long ago.

My son and all the babies in the NICU were routine washed w/this brand

of hexachlorophine. This happened in 1977. Many of the babies were

under bulli lights for extended lengths of time. My son was treated

under the lights and had a blood exchange.

I can't seem to find an answer to another question: how is the blood

prepared before the blood exchange? All I know is what they said at

the time: a MUKC med. student donated the blood and it was a good

match.

Anyone able to explain would be welcome knowledge.
