ROTEM thromboelastometry identifies blood product requirements during major obstetric haemorrhage. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bolton, S., Harkness, M., & Thomson, S. (2011). ROTEM thromboelastometry identifies blood product requirements during major obstetric haemorrhage

Introduction: major obstetric haemorrhage (MOH) is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Despite a lack of published evidence, thromboelastometry has been recommended for monitoring coagulation in obstetric patientswith MOH. Meth...

The aim of this study was to describe current blood conservation practice during revision hip surgery in Scotland and document practice variation. Revision hip surgery is associated with a high likelihood of blood transfusion. A decrease in the propo...

The use of cell salvage during obstetric procedures: an audit of Scotland's maternity units (2008)
Journal Article
Harkness, M., & Clark, V. (2008). The use of cell salvage during obstetric procedures: an audit of Scotland's maternity units. Scottish Medical Journal, 53, 24-27

BACKGROUND: Concerns about the safety and supply of donor blood mean that clinicians are increasingly looking for alternatives to allogenic blood transfusion. One such alternative is cell salvage. Theoretical concerns about the safety of giving sal... Read More about The use of cell salvage during obstetric procedures: an audit of Scotland's maternity units.

Survey of cell-salvage use in obstetrics in the UK. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Teig, M., Harkness, M., Catling, S., & Clark, V. (2007). Survey of cell-salvage use in obstetrics in the UK

Introduction: donor blood is a scarce and expensive resource, and transfusion is not without risk.1 CEMACH2 and NICE3 have stated that cell salvage should be considered in major obstetric haemorrhage. Method: a postal survey of cell-salvage use i... Read More about Survey of cell-salvage use in obstetrics in the UK..
