ROTEM thromboelastometry identifies blood product requirements during major obstetric haemorrhage. (2011)
Conference Proceeding
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...

Survey of cell-salvage use in obstetrics in the UK. (2007)
Conference Proceeding
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..

Health economic evaluation of the cost effectiveness of antenatal screening for HPA-1 induced alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT). (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Bessos, H., Turner, M., Fagge, T., Harkness, M., Rentoul, F., Seymour, J., …Urbaniak, S. (2002). Health economic evaluation of the cost effectiveness of antenatal screening for HPA-1 induced alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT)

Background: The great majority of severe NAIT is due to HPA-1a antibodies (ab). However, due to uncertainties in clinical management and health economics, HPA-1 phenotyping of pregnant women is not currently undertaken. Aims of Study: The aims of th...

Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia in Scotland: a national HPA-1 epidemiological study involving 26,506 pregnant women. (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Bessos, H., Fagge, T., Wilson, D., Harkness, M., Rentoul, F., Ahya, R., …Turner, M. (2002). Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia in Scotland: a national HPA-1 epidemiological study involving 26,506 pregnant women

Objective: Severe neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAITP) in the Caucasian population is mainly due to a mismatch in the HPA-I epitope between mother and fetus. In August 1999 we began a 2 year study of HPA-I NAITP in pregnant women in Scotland...
