Correlation between middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity and fetal hemoglobin after 2 previous intrauterine transfusions

Previously, concerns have been expressed about the accuracy of Doppler prediction of anemia after previous transfusions. Our data suggest that there is a good correlation between the MCA-PSV and fetal hemoglobin in fetuses that have undergone 2 previous transfusions. Our findings expand the clinical situation in which Doppler can be used to monitor red cell alloimmunized pregnancies.
