Fetal Bleeding as a Major Hazard of Amniocentesis

GARY T. RYAN, MD, FACO G, ROY IVY, JR., MD and JACK W. PEARSON, MD, FACOG

From the William Beaumont General Hospital, El Paso, Texas 79920.

Abstract

Two hundred ninety-one amniocenteses are reviewed to assess the significance of fetal bleeding as a complication and to suggest an approach to management. Our course of action when fetal blood is obtained and the infant is at or near term is to initiate the most expeditious method of delivery, which, in some instances, may be cesarean section. An analogy is drawn between this circumstance and that of the patient with abruption who is not in labor.
