When the fetal red blood cells are being destroyed by Rh antibodies, an intrauterine transfusion is given to the Rh-positive fetus.
The Rh-sensitized mother’s immune system is destroying the fetus’s red blood cells, therefore a blood transfusion is provided to replace them. Until the fetus is old enough to be delivered, this therapy will keep it healthy.
When a fetus is stillborn, blood may be transfused through the umbilical cord or umbilical artery. In comparison to transfusion via the abdomen, umbilical cord vascular transfusion has a greater survival rate and allows for better absorption of blood.
The hospital performs an intrauterine fetal blood transfusion. There is a chance the mother may be required to remain overnight after the surgery.

• To get an accurate picture of the fetus’s and placenta’s positions, anesthesia is used on the mother.
• It is necessary to numb the mother’s abdomen before inserting the transfusion needle after it has been cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
• To put a halt to fetal movement temporarily, the medicine may be administered to the fetus.
• When a needle is inserted into a vein in the umbilical cord or the abdomen of the fetus, it is guided by ultrasound.
• The umbilical cord blood artery of the fetus is infused with the blood of a suitable type (often type O, Rh-negative).
• Antibiotics are often administered to the mother to prevent her from becoming infected. However, this is rare, she may also be given a tocolytic medication to prevent labor from starting.
