PUBS Can Detect:
Chromosomal abnormalities.
Blood disorders such as hemophilia and anemia.
Some metabolic disorders.
Infections such as toxoplasmosis and rubella.
Some causes of structural problems or intrauterine growth restriction.
Percutaneous Umbilical Blood Sampling (PUBS)
Your doctor may order a prenatal test called percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, or PUBS. The test is generally done between week 18 and 36 of a pregnancy.
PUBS - See "Percutaneous Umbilical Blood Sampling".
Pudendal Block - A local anesthetic injected into the vaginal wall.

PUBS
a needle is placed into an umbilical vessel to test the blood of the fetus for the presence of abnormalities.
During PUBS, a needle is inserted through the pregnant woman's abdominal wall, into the amniotic cavity, and into the fetal umbilical cord. Test results are usually ready much faster than with amniocentesis, often within 48 to 72 hours.
Considerations: PUBS isn't indicated for routine prenatal diagnosis and is used in very specialized situations, Dickerson says.

Percutaneous Umbilical Cord Blood Sampling (PUBS)
The PUBS procedure takes fetal blood directly from the umbilical cord to obtain the fetal cells or plasma needed for DNA, chromosomal, or biochemical testing.
Cordocentesis, also known as fetal blood sampling and Percutaneous blood sampling (PUBS), is a method of prenatal testing that's being used to diagnosis in utero complications, including Down syndrome and heart defects.
Percutaneous umbilical cord sampling (PUBS)
This test involves the removal of blood from the umbilical cord for further study.

diagnosis is used to diagnose a genetic disease or condition in the developing fetus and includes maternal serum screening, ultrasound (sonograms), amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS).
