Absence or low individual and public risk
Placental transfusion syndromes - what does this mean
Placental transfusion syndromes occur when the blood vessels connecting the fetus to the placenta transfer too much or too little blood between the two. this can lead to complications such as fetal anemia or polycythemia, which can cause serious health issues for the fetus.
What happens during the disease - placental transfusion syndromes
Placental transfusion syndromes occur when there is an abnormal exchange of blood between the mother and fetus via the placenta. this can occur due to the presence of abnormal or insufficient placental vessels, which can lead to an imbalance in the amount of blood that is exchanged between the mother and fetus. this can cause the fetus to become anemic, resulting in low oxygen levels and poor growth, as well as other complications.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of complications and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
- Monitoring of the mother's and baby's health
- Regular ultrasounds to monitor the baby's growth and development
- Fetal blood sampling to measure the baby's hemoglobin levels
- Maternal blood transfusions to increase the maternal hemoglobin levels
- Cordocentesis to measure the fetal hemoglobin levels
- Placental transfusion to transfer blood from the placenta to the fetus
- Delivery of the baby at an appropriate gestational age
8 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Placental transfusion syndromes - Prevention
Placental transfusion syndromes can be prevented by taking measures to reduce the risk of premature delivery, such as avoiding smoking and alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and monitoring the baby's growth during pregnancy. additionally, the use of antenatal corticosteroids and delayed cord clamping at birth can help reduce the risk of placental transfusion syndromes.
