TY - JOUR T1 - Use of anti-D in an accident and emergency department. JF - Archives of Emergency Medicine JO - Arch Emerg Med SP - 306 LP - 309 DO - 10.1136/emj.10.4.306 VL - 10 IS - 4 AU - A M Huggon AU - D P Watson Y1 - 1993/12/01 UR - http://emj.bmj.com/content/10/4/306.abstract N2 - A retrospective study was made of the use of anti-D in an accident and emergency (A&E) department in 1 month. Patients who are discharged home with a diagnosis of threatened miscarriage should have their blood group determined and anti-D should be given to those who are rhesus negative. We found that only 8/29 patients discharged from the department had their blood group determined and none of the rhesus negative patients was given anti-D. We have introduced a practical method of reminding medical staff to give anti-D to patients who require it. ER -
