- Given only to Rh NEGATIVE mothers
- Suppresses immune response; to prevent the mother from making antibodies against Rh+ blood

- Within 72 hours after Birth Direct Coombs is done on cord blood; only given if indicated
- Within 72 hours after Birth Direct Coombs is done on cord blood; only given if indicated
- at 28 weeks gestation as routine antepartum prevention: Indirect Coombs maternal serum blood
work
, when is RhoGAM routinely administered?
Indirect Coombs
Blood work is done at 28 weeks (?), just looking to see if mom is sensitized
Direct Coombs
After Birth, cord blood is taken; lab that is done is called ? - determine baby's blood type and again looks
for sensitization
Rhogam
NOTE: ? is not indicated if mom is already sensitized or if baby is Rh negative on Direct Coombs
RhoGAM

? is highly successful at preventing sensitization in a current pregnancy. When given at 28 weeks and
within 72 hours of delivery of an Rh-positive child, it has a success rate of greater than 99%.

Although ? is not given to a woman who has become sensitized to the Rh factor, it is not harmful to a
sensitized woman.
