[Intrauterine management of Rh-alloimmunization].
The authors report the strategy of invasive management of Rh alloimmunisation in pregnancy. From the 34 pregnancies 6 were monitored by amniocenteses, 11 by fetal blood sampling, and 4 with combination of the two above mentioned diagnostic procedures. In 13 cases the fetuses were treated with intrauterine intravascular blood transfusions. All the procedures were ultrasound guided. The fetal blood sampling and the transfusions were carried out by puncturing the umbilical vein or artery. For transfusions, maternal blood was used in case of identical blood type, otherwise adult Rh negative, filtered, washed, irradiated blood was transfused. They report the complications as well, giving the cause of their fetal losses in details. There were no maternal complications observed. Out of the 34 pregnant women 25 had healthy newborns, which number is acceptable in this disease with a very high mortality rate. The authors underline that the technique of fetal blood sampling and intrauterine transfusion if needed is necessary in the management of Rh alloimmunised pregnancies.
