Goodbye Aoife,Welcome Doris
Amendment 3New recruitment proceduresWe are very pleased that
Substantial Amendment 3 has
been approved by the lead ethics committee and is currentlyunder
local R&D review. Once activated for your site, you willbe able
to approach newly admitted women who have notreceived information
antenatally, provided they are in early stages of labour, or are
comfortable with epiduralRefer to the amended protocol (V6.0) for
full details!Please note: Despite this, every effort should still
be made to approach
women about SALVO during antenatal screening! All women with
non-elective sections continue to be
eligible, but we ask you to avoid recruiting women havinga
caesarean section after a failed induction, who have noother risk
factors for bleeding (e.g. thrombocytopaeniaetc). For the purpose
of de ning failed induction in thiscontext, this is a failure to
enter established labour asde ned by NICE guidance, which is
progressive dilatationfrom 4cm with regular painful
contractions.
We are really pleased withour overhauled patientinformation
sheet thankyou to everyone whocontributed, and particularlyto Paul
Ayuk. We will print
customised versions foryour site (with local contactdetails) and
send them to youby November.

The SALVO NewsletterStudy to assess cell-salvage in
obstetrics
Our rst Collaborators meeting was held at Barts Hospitalin
London on 3rd October. Team members from 21 sitesattended thank you
for your enthusiastic attendance!
We heard updates on the trial from Phil Moore as well assummary
of the pilot study from James Geoghegan; the teamfrom Shef eld gave
a veryinformative presentation onswab washing. Phil Moorepresented
a case of placentaaccreta; and as a specialtreat, Ana Pilar Betrn
fromWHO presented interestingfacts and gures on theglobal use of
Caesareansections.
The Trial Steering Committee met on 15th September. TheCommittee
would like us to remind everyone to considerroutinely washing swabs
in theatre, as this will dramaticallyincrease the volume of
returned blood during cell salvage.
We are saying a sad farewell to Aoife Ahern, our previousSenior
Trial Coordinator. We wish her all the best for thefuture in
Ireland and thank her for her stellar work for SALVOthroughout the
last one-and-a-half years. You will be missed!
At the same time, we would like to welcomeDoris Lanz, who has
taken over fromAoife as the new trial coordinator. Dorishas

obstetrics
As of 30th September, our total recruitment to SALVO was 1594,
and the monthly recruitment was 43. Given that most of thesewere
emergency Caesareans, that is an impressive number! Still, we hope
that with the new amendment, you will be able to approacheven more
women about the study. The next few months of recruitment will be
particularly important for the future course of theproject many
thanks in advance for all your efforts!
