THIS IS NOT A CURRENT MEDICAL PROCEDURE! This footage is a historical look at how amniocentesis was performed in the early 1980s. NO ONE DOES THIS PROCEDURE THIS WAY!

This was posted for those interested in HISTORICAL procedures.

  • WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS NOT CURRENT! THIS IS FROM THE EARLY-1980s AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE CURRENT-DAY AMNIO PROCEDURE. IT IS BEING POSTED FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN MEDICAL PROCEDURE HISTORY.

  • This is from the mid-to-late 1980's. Procedures have changed since then; please don't look at this video as an example of 'modern medical procedures.'

  • i think its a bone marrow aspiration procedure. btw where do u get this clip?

  • Step 1: Hospital uses lots of u-matic SP tapes.

    Step 2: Sells tapes on ebay

    Step 3: buyer encodes, posts on ebay

    Step 4: ???

    Step 5: Profit!

  • Oh my God, I don't like this one bit.

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

    thats all i have to say o.0

  • a mi me lo hicieron y es bien incomodo!!

  • This video was very disturbing to me. This makes the procedure look like it hurts. Why is he doing so much? I have done my research on this and the other videos that I have seen were not done this way. He is turning the needle and there is bleeding. It's almost as if he doesn't know what he is doing. I feel like God will take care of your unborn and these doctors don't always know the right thing to do. They told me I would have to have one but couldn't really tell why. It is bull if you ask me.

  • por q sale sangre???

  • What truslack said....THIS IS NOT A MODERN AMNIO!!! This is the type of amnio (circa 1989) that carries the oft stated 1 in 200 risk of miscarriage. Today they always use ultra-sound guidance and the risk of miscarriage is as low as 1 in 1600.
