Clinical resources

• Comprehensive clinical analysis following stillbirth - this is a guide for Hospital and Health Services in relation to a recent change to the Hospital and Health Boards Regulation 2012 (the Regulation). The change means stillbirths are now included in the Regulation as a reportable event within the Queensland Severity Assessment Code matrix for clinical incident management.
• Considerations in the management of pregnant women who refuse blood and blood products. The council recognises the issues involved in the provision of medical treatment to pregnant women who refuse blood and blood products are complex, and it is therefore difficult to develop a formal protocol that can be applied with certainty to every individual circumstance. Pregnancy, unlike many other situations where acute blood loss may occur, offers a significant window of opportunity during antenatal care to ascertain the woman's exact wishes in a non-acute setting, and to make sure she is as unlikely as possible to need blood products. This document has been produced following consultation with members of the Jehovah's Witness Faith.
• Information for General Practitioners and home fetal heart doppler poster: A retrospective audit conducted by the Queensland Maternal and Perinatal Quality Council (QMPQC) over 2021-2022 has identified four clinical incidents related to the use of home fetal dopplers. The following resources have been developed to inform clinicians of the potential risks associated with the use of home fetal heart monitors (dopplers) in pregnancy.
