THE USE OF AMNIOCENTESIS AND FETAL TRANSFUSION IN ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS

Abstract

In the Rhesus-sensitized woman spectrophotometric analysis of amniotic fluid allows a direct assessment of fetal condition independent of history and antibody titer and behavior. Obstetrical interference can be avoided where it is unnecessary and timed accurately where it is essential. Amniocentesis can also detect babies who will not reach a reasonable maturity alive or in viable condition. After amniographic assessment and under radiographic control percutaneous intraperitoneal transfusion of the fetus with packed erythrocytes can ensure fetal survival to a more viable maturity and produce a baby in good condition for pediatric care.
