“R.H.” OPERATIONS
PERFORMED AT NAPIER “Rh” blood-factor operations, involving the replacement of a child’s blood at birth or the transfusion of blood into newly-born babies where anaemia is feared, is not an uncommon operation in Napier, where, over the last three and a-half years, seven or eight operations of this nature have been performed, says the Daily Telegraph. Most of the operations have been performed at the Hawke’s Bay Hospital Board’s institutions, and the greater proportion involved the transfusion of blood rather than the draining of blood because of the babies’ anaemic condition.
