    Area of Science:

    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Prenatal Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Cordocentesis is a valuable tool for prenatal diagnosis.
    • Assessing the safety and efficacy of cordocentesis is crucial for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the success rate and complication profile of cordocentesis.
    • To determine the optimal method for obtaining fetal blood samples via cordocentesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed 96 cordocentesis procedures over two years in pregnancies from 16-40 weeks.
    • Documented success rates, sample origins, and any maternal or fetal complications.
    • Analyzed reasons for unsuccessful procedures, including needle length limitations.

    Main Results:

    • 63% of procedures were successful on the first attempt; 95% within three attempts.
    • No maternal or significant fetal complications were reported.
    • Samples were primarily obtained from the placental cord origin (64%).

    Conclusions:

    • Cordocentesis is a safe, rapid, and efficient method for accessing fetal circulation.
    • Experienced practitioners can achieve high success rates with minimal complications.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize needle selection for challenging cases.
