What is a fetal hit?
Fetal intervention is treatment, surgery or fetal procedure while still in the uterus. There are several different types of fetal interventions that can be done in response to certain congenital abnormalities or conditions. These conditions may include congenital heart disease and a hole in the spine known as Bifida. Operations for fetal intervention can range from very minimally invasive to extremely invasive nature. The mother is more at risk with certain types of intervention than others.
Open fetal surgery is a highly invasive fetal intervention that includes the opening of the lower abdomen and uterus of the mother to gain access to the fetus. This requires general anesthesia to sleep throughout the procedure. After opening the abdomen and uterus, the necessary repairs of the fetus or preventive measures are performed and both are then closed. The mother often has to stay in the hospital for several days or observation and treatment after surgical contractions.
Extero intrapartum Treatment (output) is a type of fetal intervention that occurs when the child is ready for delivery. It is usually done when a child has a blocked airways that prevent it from breathing as soon as it is separated from the placenta. However, it includes caesarean section, as well as open fetal surgery, which the mother is subjected to by general anesthesia. The child is then partially delivered, but is not separated from the umbilical cord until the airways are successfully cleaned. Once the surgeon is assured that the child can breathe, it can then be fully delivered.
Fetoscopic intervention or fetendo fetal surgery is a less invasive procedure that often replaces open fetal surgery for certain types of congenital conditions. Unlike open surgery of the fetus, there is no need to open a belly or uterus, although the mother usually sleeps for the procedure. This type of fetal intervention is performed in the uterus and ZHIt rides inserting pipes with the abdominal wall of the mother and the wall of the uterus. Tools and telescope are inserted into these tubes. Surgeons performing fetoscopic intervention are governed by live, real -time images provided by telescope and sonogram.
The least invasive procedure for fetal intervention is called surgery led by Fetal Picture (Figs-it). It is performed using a fetal image in real time. This surgery includes only inserting the needle over the abdomen of the mother, the uterine wall and the fetus. Regional or local anesthesia is usually all that is required for this type of intervention, but in rare cases general anesthesia may be required. Preventive treatment, which may involve intervention on fetal image guidance, may include blood sampling or catheter placement in the bladder, but is generally not used for more complicated intervention where operation is required.
