Fetal blood was obtained through puncture of the umbilical vein in Rhesus monkeys. The puncture needle was introduced during direct visual control through ultrasound. This method offers a possibility to obtain fetal blood without opening the uterine cavity. Injection into the fetal circulation is also possible.
