Fetal blood sampling via cordocentesis is being used with increasing frequency. Between March 1986 and February 1988, we performed 58 intravascular transfusions (64 attempts) and 27 fetal blood samplings (28 attempts) guided by ultrasonography. The complication rates for intravascular transfusion and fetal blood sampling were 9.4% (6 of 64) and 7.1% (2

The values were compared with those from 62 appropriate-for-gestational-age fetuses. The ratio of glycine to valine was higher in the small-for-gestational-age fetuses and correlated significantly with the degree of fetal ...
