The call for routine screening dates back 2 decades. In 2008 a paper was written entitled ‘Vasa Praevia. A preventable tragedy. (Elizabeth Daly-Jones, Ultrasound Services Manager, Queen Charlotte`s & Chelsea Hospital, London (Imperial College Health Care NHS Trust); and Ann John, Alison Leahy, , Ciara McKenna1 & Waldo Sepulveda). At that stage the occurance rate was thought to be 1 in 2500 babies, and is now known to be much higher at 1 in 1200-1300.
