The SALVO NewsletterStudy to assess cell-salvage in
obstetrics
The next few weeks will be particularly crucial in termsof
recruitment. We know that emergency recruitmentcontinues to be a
challenge even with new procedures anddocumentation, and we really
appreciate all your efforts.Here are a few tips and tricks from
various SALVO sites todentify study patients and get staff
involved: Highlight potential study participants with laminated
cards, additional stickers Distribute stickers and notes with
contact details for the
designated SALVO midwives. Train additional SHOs, anaesthetists
to inform patients
(use our Research Governance and SALVO training slides,and
remember to document any training). Anaesthetists
who check on epidurals would be well placed to
recruitpatients.
Target diabetics clinics, high risk clinics,
specialanaesthetists clinics.
Introduce SALVO to new trainees at introduction. Liaise with
labour ward manager or lead consultant
about getting all SHOs trained in GCP.Let us know if you have
further ideas and suggestions!
We have sent out separate queries that are very importantfor our
primary study endpoint: The steering committeehave asked us to
cross-reference with local blood banksfor patients who have not
received donor blood duringCaesarean. We really appreciate your
help in this additionaleffort to ensure we are not missing any
events!
