In our view, improving the effectiveness of RhIg dosing would require 2 things: (1) a more accurate calculation of maternal blood volume, such as Dr Ramsey's RhIg Dose Calculator2; and (2) replacement of acid elution FMH quantitation with flow cytometry in all cases in which additional Rh immune globulin doses are indicated by initial Rosette or acid elution test results.
