90
Q

What is Doppler blood flow analysis​ ?

A

Systolic/diastolic flow ratios and resistance indices to estimate blood flow in various arteries

A

RH negative

if fetus is RH positive and the blood happens to mix, the body will try to destroy the fetus as a foreign invader

typically seen with the second pregnancy because the body builds up antibodies against RH pos

92
Q

what is WinRho (made in Wpg) and why is it used?

A

To protect the fetus and binds to the antigens so the body won’t attack the baby if the baby is RH +.
