“…A plastic catheter was introduced into the umbilical vein and the blood was exchanged by the 20 ml.-out 20 ml.-in method. If more than 12 hours had elapsed after birth the vena cava was entered through the saphena magna vein in the groin and the femoral vein according to the technique described by Arnold and Alford (1948).…”

The following is a report of the clinical and laboratory findings and the therapeutic results in 38 cases of haemolytic disease of the newborn which were observed at the Rothschild-Hadassah-University Hospital during the years 1946-52. Material and MethodsThirty of the 38 cases were the result of Rh sensitization, and eight were due to incompatibility in the ABO system. Prenatal Investptions. Pregnant women attending the health centres, which combine the functions of prenatal and infant welfare clinics, were examined routinely for Rh blood groups. The Rh-negative women were tested for Rh antibodies. Cases with Rh antibodies were invited to attend for monthly control titrations during the second trimester, and twice a week during the last trimester of pregnancy.In a similar way serial antibody determinations for anti-A or anti-B were carried out during pregnancy in all cases with a previous history of isoimmunization and erythroblastotic infants due to ABO incompatibility. The blood group and Rh type of the father's red cells were also determined in all cases of suspected iso-immunization.Rh antibodies in maternal sera were examined in saline and plasma. In the second part of this study the Coombs indirect method was also used.

“…Personal preference will no doubt continue to influence the details ot equipment and even the choice of route. The routes most often selected are those of Diamond (1948), by the umbilical vein, and of Arnold and Alford (1948), by the femoral vein. Dr. Walker has contributed another interesting outfit, but I feel that it cannot be the most convenient one and that in some particulars he has been over-critical of previous apparatus.…”
