About this document
Amniocentesis Procedure and Fluid Analysis by Dane Orilla is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Amniocentesis is a procedure that collects amniotic fluid from the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus using a needle guided by ultrasound imaging. The fluid is tested to check for genetic abnormalities or signs of fetal distress. It is usually performed between 15-18 weeks of gestation. The amniotic fluid sample is checked for color, clarity, and under a microscope to determine if it is normal or contains signs of infection or fetal bleeding issues.
