Fetal Blood Transfusion Expert Witnesses
Fetal Blood Transfusion is a specialist prenatal procedure used to treat severe fetal anaemia, often caused by maternal red cell antibodies or certain infections. Blood is typically transfused into the fetal circulation under ultrasound guidance, with careful monitoring of fetal wellbeing. Independent expert witnesses can provide opinions on diagnosis, referral, procedural decisions, clinical standards, complications and causation in Clinical Negligence proceedings involving fetal treatment and pregnancy outcomes.
