Five years' experience with intrauterine transfusion.

J M Corston, E Pereira, D W Cudmore

    Canadian Medical Association Journal

    Summary

    Intrauterine transfusion offers a 46% survival rate for fetuses, with higher success in later gestations. This procedure is vital for managing Rh-isoimmunized pregnancies.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Rh-isoimmunized pregnancies pose significant risks to fetal well-being.
    • Intrauterine transfusion (IUT) is a critical intervention for managing severe fetal anemia.
    • Evaluating long-term outcomes of IUT is essential for refining clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy and outcomes of intrauterine transfusion over a five-year period.
    • To analyze survival rates based on gestational age at the time of transfusion.
    • To compare different procedural techniques and report on neonatal management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 94 intrauterine transfusions performed on 50 fetuses.
    • Stratification of survival rates by gestational age (before vs. after 28 weeks).
    • Review of amniocentesis indications and transfusion criteria based on Liley's zones.

    Main Results:

    • An overall fetal salvage rate of 46% (23 survivors) was achieved.
    • Survival rates were 31.9% for transfusions before 28 weeks and 57.1% after 28 weeks.
    • No significant difference in outcomes was observed between procedural techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Intrauterine transfusion is a viable procedure with a notable salvage rate, particularly when performed after 28 weeks' gestation.
    • The study supports the established indications for amniocentesis and IUT.
    • Neonatal management, including exchange transfusions, is crucial for improving survival in live-born infants.
