Abstract
Intravascular fetal transfusion can be complicated by difficulty in maintaining vascular
access because of fetal movements. Treatment by intramuscular pancuronium bromide
has been proposed as a means of arresting fetal movements, although this treatment
requires a separate puncture for injection. We report in this article our experience
with intravenous fetal injection of pancuronium bromide to produce muscular paralysis
during fetal transfusion.
