The Ogita test is the best all round alkaline denaturation test that may help to rapidly identify the presence of fetal hemoglobin and so establish the need to expedite delivery when there is fetal bleeding from vasa previa. It is simple to perform, does not require sophisticated equipment, unlikely to give false positive results, and takes only 5 min. The simplicity of the test makes it attractive for routine use on the labor ward.
