Sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern following intrauterine fetal transfusion.
Two patients with severe rhesus isoimmunization had sinusoidal fetal heart rate patterns following intrauterine fetal transfusion. A consistent temporal relationship between fetal transfusion and sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern was observed. Survival of a fetus who had a sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern after each of three transfusions suggests that this pattern may not be ominous when observed transiently after fetal transfusion.
