Abstract

Objective. To evaluate fetal cardiac response to cordocentesis and whether such changes may affect pregnancy outcome.

Methods. 117 singleton pregnant women requiring percutaneous trans-abdominal cordocentesis were prospectively included. Fetal heart rate was continuously evaluated by ultrasound for 1 min after completion of cordocentesis and intermittently for 20 min more. Fetal and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed by grouping fetal cardiac response to cordocentesis int...
