How is Embryo Reduction done?
The reduction procedure is generally carried out during the first trimester. The most common method is to inject a chemical solution or feticide into the fetus or fetuses selected for either genetic reasons or for ease of accessibility.At our clinic we inject potassium chloride into or in the vicinity of the foetal heart thereby causing it to stop functioning under general anaesthesia under sonography guidance by embryo reduction needle introduced transvaginally. Generally, the fetal material is reabsorbed into the woman’s body. Patient is treated like a case of threatened abortion.
