Abstract:
A patient presented at 21 weeks gestation with nonimmune hydrops of her singleton fetus. A cordocentesis confirmed fetal anemia. During the course of the procedure, fetal cardiac arrest occurred. The fetus was resuscitated with intracardiac epinephrine and fetal transfusion was performed. The resuscitation was initially successful, however the fetus died 12 h later.
