    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Fetal Medicine
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Context:

    • Traditional fetal blood sampling methods like placentacentesis, fetoscopy, and umbilical cord puncture present challenges.
    • These challenges include technical difficulties and potential contamination with maternal blood or amniotic fluid.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of fetal liver puncture for obtaining pure fetal blood samples.
    • To introduce a novel, minimally invasive technique for fetal blood sampling under real-time ultrasound guidance.

    Summary:

    • Fetal blood sampling was performed via fetal liver puncture using a 21-23 gauge needle under real-time scan guidance in 10 patients (18-22 weeks gestation).
    • The procedure was technically simple, yielding pure fetal blood confirmed by red blood cell sizing.
    • No pregnancies were adversely affected, and 7 delivered patients showed no sampling scars or liver function impairment.

    Impact:

    • Fetal liver puncture provides a simple, safe, and effective method for obtaining pure fetal blood.
    • This technique minimizes risks of contamination and technical complications seen in other fetal blood sampling procedures.
    • The procedure demonstrates a favorable safety profile with no observed adverse effects on fetal or maternal outcomes.
