Fetal Blood Transfusion | Fetal Hematocrit Prediction Equation
Purpose: | To estimate the fetal hematocrit at some time following an intravascular intrauterine red blood cell transfusion using the equation of MacGregor et al. |
Specialty: | Clinical Laboratory Pedatrics Obstetrics & Gynecology |
Objective: | laboratory tests, dosage calculations |
ICD-10: | P50 |
Description: | Macgregor et al used an equation to predict a fetal hematocrit some time after an intravascular intrauterine red blood cell transfusion. This can help determine if an additional transfusion may be required. |
