Abstract
- Blood samples from mothers during labor and after delivery were tested for the occurrence of fetomaternal transfusing using Nierhaus acid elution technique. Fetomaternal transfusion had occured 1/2 of the mothers after delivery, 2/3 of the mothers during labor. The fetomateonal transfusions after delivery were most often less than 4.0?? and only few percent had fetomaternal transfusions more than 4.0??. Complicated pregnancy, duration of labor, induction of labor with oxytocics did not increased the incide- nce of fetomaternal transfusion. Manual removal of placenta increased the incidence of fetomaternal transfusion.
