We report a case of feto-maternal haemorrhage and describe a new flow-cytometric method of determining a fetus's or infant's pre-transfusion red cell volume (RCV). We validate this method against an established technique, employing fetal haemoglobin (HbF) dilution, for determining the RCV in fetuses and neonates requiring intravascular transfusion. We discuss advantages and other potential applications of this new method.
