Cell salvage and donor blood transfusion during cesarean section: A pragmatic, multicentre randomised controlled trial (SALVO). [PDF]
BackgroundExcessive haemorrhage at cesarean section requires donor (allogeneic) blood transfusion. Cell salvage may reduce this requirement.Methods and findingsWe conducted a pragmatic randomised controlled trial (at 26 obstetric units; participants ...

Severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus Treated with Serial Intrauterine Transfusions: A Case Report and Review of Current Management [PDF]
Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is a severe complication of pregnancy caused by maternal alloimmunization to fetal red blood cells, leading to significant perinatal morbidity and mortality.

A randomised controlled trial and economic evaluation of intraoperative cell salvage during caesarean section in women at risk of haemorrhage: the SALVO (cell SALVage in Obstetrics) trial [PDF]
Background: Caesarean section is associated with blood loss and maternal morbidity. Excessive blood loss requires transfusion of donor (allogeneic) blood, which is a finite resource. Cell salvage returns blood lost during surgery to the mother.

Fetomaternal Transfusion as a Cause Of Severe Fetal Anemia Causing Early Neonatal Death: A Case Report [PDF]
Fetomaternal hemorrhage refers to the entry of fetal blood into the maternal circulation before or during delivery. Very small amount of fetal red cells are normally detectable in all pregnancies. Massive fetomaternal bleed is very rare and even rarer is

Cerebral injury and long-term neurodevelopment impairment in children following severe fetomaternal transfusion: a retrospective cohort study. [PDF]
Objective: Fetomaternal transfusion (FMT) is associated with increased perinatal mortality and morbidity, but data on postnatal outcomes are scarce. Our aim was to determine the incidence of adverse short-term and long-term sequelae of severe FMT. Design:

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of pregnancies at-risk of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark: a population-based register studyAJOG Global Reports at a Glance [PDF]
Background: Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization is an immune response where the maternal immune system produces antibodies against fetal RBCs, which can lead to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN).

Acute Fetomaternal Hemorrhage Confirmed by Maternal Alfa-Fetoprotein in Monochorionic Diamniotic Neonates under 1,500 g [PDF]
Fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) is due to the entry of fetal blood into the maternal circulation. Although very rare, FMH complicates pregnancies, presents with severe symptoms, and leads to fetal death.
