This document provides guidelines for the use of anti-D immunoglobulin (anti-D Ig) for Rhesus D prophylaxis. It discusses the history and pathogenesis of Rh isoimmunization, appropriate dosing and administration of anti-D Ig, sensitizing events requiring prophylaxis, and the implementation of routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis programs. The guidelines aim to prevent RhD alloimmunization in RhD-negative women by outlining evidence-based best practices for anti-D Ig administration.

A miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion, is an event that results in the loss of a fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy. It typically happens during the first trimester, or first three months, of the pregnancy. Miscarriages can happen for a variety of medical reasons, many of which aren't within a person's control.
Early pregnancy loss by dr alka mukherjee dr apurva mukherjee nagpur ms indiaalka mukherjee
Early pregnancy loss, or loss of an intrauterine pregnancy within the first trimester, is encountered commonly in clinical practice. Obstetricians and gynecologists should understand the use of various diagnostic tools to differentiate between viable and nonviable pregnancies and offer the full range of therapeutic options to patients, including expectant, medical, and surgical management.
Early pregnancy loss is defined as a nonviable, intrauterine pregnancy with either an empty gestational sac or a gestational sac containing an embryo or fetus without fetal heart activity within the first 12 6/7 weeks of gestation 1. In the first trimester, the terms miscarriage, spontaneous abortion, and early pregnancy loss are used interchangeably, and there is no consensus on terminology in the literature.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

2.
3. History
• Post-delivery anti-D Ig immunoprophylaxis began in
the UK in 1969.
• Deaths attributed to RhD alloimmunisation fell from
46/100 000 births before 1969 to 1.6/100 000 in1990

6. 1- How should the size of FMH be quantified?
•A Kleihauer screening test should be performed within 2
hours of delivery to identify Rh-negative women with a
large FMH who require additional anti-D Ig.
•clinical circumstances are more likely to be associated
with a large FMH:
1. traumatic deliveries including caesarean section
2. manual removal of the placenta
3. invasive prenatal diagnosis (amniocentesis, CVS)
4. antepartum haemorrhage
5. abdominal trauma
8. 2- What dose of anti-D Ig should be administered?
2 policies
1.Testing to quantify the size of FMH is recommended
(UK, USA,Canada,France and Ireland).
2.A standard postnatal dose of 1000–1500 iu is used
with no requirement for a routine Kleihauer test (In other
European countries).
9. 2- What dose of anti-D Ig should be administered?
•An intramuscular dose of 500 iu of anti-D Ig ……………will
neutralise an FMH of up to 4 ml.
•For each 1 ml of FMH in excess of 4 ml
...........a further 125 micrograms of anti-D Ig is necessary..
PREPARATIONSPREPARATIONS
•250 iu
•500 iu
•1250 iu
•1500 iu
•2500 iu
•5000 iu
10. 3- How should anti-D Ig be administered?
TIME
For successful immunoprophylaxis, anti-D Ig should be
given as soon as possible after the potentially sensitising
event but always within 72 hours.If it is not given before 72
hours, every effort should still be made to administer the anti-
D Ig, as a dose given within 10 days may provide some
protection.
SITE
Ideally, it should be administered into the deltoid muscle.
but women who have a bleeding disorder should receive
sc. or iv.
11. 3- When is anti-D Ig prophylaxis required following miscarriage,
ectopic pregnancy and termination of pregnancy?
Miscarriage
Anti-D Ig should be given to non-sensitised RhD-negative
women who have :-
• Spontaneous complete or incomplete miscarriage >12W.
•Surgical or Medical evacuation of the uterus, regardless of
gestation.
12. 3- When is anti-D Ig prophylaxis required following miscarriage,
ectopic pregnancy and termination of pregnancy?
Threatened miscarriage
Anti-D Ig should be given to non-sensitised RhD-negative
women who have :-
•>12 w.
•approaching 12W, with heavy or repeated bleeding or associated
abdominal pain.
• >12 w e bleeding continues intermittently , anti-D Ig should be given at
6-weekly intervals.
13. 3- When is anti-D Ig prophylaxis required following miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and termination of pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy
Anti-D Ig should be given to all non-sensitised RhD-negative women who have an ectopic pregnancy, regardless of management.
14. 3- When is anti-D Ig prophylaxis required following miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and termination of pregnancy?
Therapeutic termination of pregnancy
Anti-D Ig should be given to non-sensitised RhD-negative women who have :-
therapeutic termination of pregnancy, whether by surgical or medical methods, regardless of gestational age.
15. 4- Which antenatal sensitising events require anti-D Ig
prophylaxis?
1.invasive prenatal diagnosis (amniocentesis, chorion villus sampling,
cordocentesis, intrauterine transfusion)
2. other intrauterine procedures (e.g. insertion of shunts, embryo
reduction, laser)
3. antepartum haemorrhage
4. external cephalic version of the fetus (including attempted)
5. any abdominal trauma (direct/indirect, sharp/blunt, open/closed)
6. fetal death.
16. 5- How should an RAADP programme be put into clinical practice?
•In a significant proportion of cases, there is no recognised sensitising
event and sensitisation is ‘silent’ secondary to occult FMH.
•This occurs with increasing frequency as gestation advances, Fewer
than 10% of cases occur before 28 weeks of gestation.
•There are two regimens for providing RAADP: two doses of 500 iu
anti-D Ig at 28 and 34 weeks of gestation,
or a single dose of 1500 iu at 28 weeks of gestation.
17. 5- How should an RAADP programme be put into clinical practice?
•RAADP should be offered to all non-sensitised RhD-negative women.
•RAADP is a completely separate entity from the anti-D Ig required for
potentially sensitising events.
•There is no evidence that the efficacy of the single-dose and two-dose
regimens differs, and the chosen regimen will depend on local
organisational factors.
•The routine 28-week antibody screening sample must be taken before
administration of the first dose of anti-D.
18. 5- What are the maternal and fetal effects of RAADP?
There is NO evidence to suggest that RAADP is associated with adverse events that are of consequence for the mother or baby other than the possibility of blood-borne infection.
19. 6- How should women who decline RAADP be managed?
WHO?
•women who object on religious grounds
• women who will be sterilised after the birth
• women who are certain they will have no more children
In the event that RAADP is declined, antibody screening should be
performed at booking and at 28 weeks of gestation to identify cases
where sensitisation has occurred.
Sensitisation occurring in the third trimester is unlikely to cause
significant fetal problems in that pregnancy.
20. 7- Who should receive postnatal anti-D Ig prophylaxis?
•At least 500 IU of anti-D Igmust be given to every non-sensitised
RhD-negative woman within 72 hours following the delivery of an
RhD-positive infant.
•A test to detect FMH greater than 4ml must also be undertaken
so that additional anti-D Ig can be given as appropriate.
•If the pregnancy is non-viable and no sample can be obtained
from the baby, anti-D Ig should be administered
21. 8- What is the role of non-invasive assessment of fetal blood
type?
cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA)
•Diagnostic accuracy of 96.5%.
•In addition to ascertaining RhD status,other rarer antigens can be
identified.These include K (Kell),Rh C,c and E .
22. 9- How should inadvertent transfusion of RhD-positive platelets be managed?
In the event that RhD-positive platelets are transfused, prophylaxis against Rh
alloimmunisation should be given.
250 iu anti-D Ig should be given following every three adult doses.
23. 10- How should inadvertent transfusion of RhD-positive blood
be managed?
•<15 ml ……. the appropriate dose of anti-D should be
given
•>15 ml ……. larger anti-D Ig (2500 iu or 5000 iu).
•Exchang transfusion may be necessary for large
volumes of transfused blood
