Correct needle placement during intravascular transfusion of the fetus may be difficult with an anterior placentation. Elevated bilirubin levels due to red cell hemolysis in the fetus of an alloimmunized pregnancy will result in icteric serum. The findings of such serum in centrifuged capillary tubes can be used to confirm fetal vascular access.
