Re: [ozmidwifery] reaction to anti D

[Michelle Windsor]

Hi Lindsay,

 

I haven't seen a reaction to anti-D but apparently they can have reactions ranging from soreness at the injection site, cold/flu like symptoms to anaphylaxis. 

 

Cheers

Michelle

Hi
I wondered if anyone had every had a woman have an reaction to the anti D
injection?
Today I gave a woman her 24 week dose of anti D. This is her second
pregnancy and thus her 4th dose of anti D. She appeared fine and left. I
went out to the waiting room to discover her swaying on her feet, flushed
and looking very unwell. Took her back into the consult room and did obs...
she was tachycardic, tachypnoeic with raised BP. She was short of breath
and felt 'funny'. Called the doc and we put a cannula i! n, however she seemed
to come right and we didn't do any further treatment, except monitor her for
about 45 minutes. However her husband rang once she got home to say that
she was feeling unwell and shaky. He brought her back into the hospital...
I don't know if she required further treatment. She was feeling a bit
unwell before the injection, getting a cold she said.
None of the other midwives had ever had a patient react to anti D.
