A blood transfusion is given to replace fetal red blood cells that are being destroyed by the Rh-sensitized mother’s immune system. This treatment is meant to keep the fetus healthy until he or she is mature enough to be delivered.
A sensitized mother’s immune system can destroy a large amount of fetal red blood cells, causing severe anemia. Intrauterine blood transfusions are done. In a severely affected fetus, transfusions are done every 1 to 4 weeks until the fetus is mature enough to be delivered safely.
Fetal survival after transfusion depends upon the severity of the fetus’s illness, the method of transfusion, and the skill of the doctor who does the procedure. Overall, after intrauterine transfusion through the umbilical cord.
