Tóm tắt

Multifetal pregnancy increases maternal, fetal and neonatal complications, most important being preterm delivery and complications of prematurity. Fetal reduction is a procedure for reducing the number of fetuses to a more manageable number. Reduction of triplet or higher order pregnancy is acceptable and the ending number is usually two. Fetal reduction reduces the risk of preterm delivery. Intracardiac/intrathoracic KCl is used for fetal reduction in multichorionic pregnancy. This is not a viable option in monochorionic pregnancy, where vaso-occlusive methods are used.
