The work of an Rh committee; experiences in a private general hospital.

An Rh committee was formed at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica to provide preadmission consultation on all potential Rh and ABO problems and to maintain a file of information on Rh-negative patients in the delivery room. It is urged that no patient go to the delivery room without the known Rh-ABO type as part of the labor record. All obstetrical patients at the hospital are given "obstetrical information cards" for use as a memorandum on the labor record. A pink card identifies the Rh-negative patient. The program keeps the staff "Rh-conscious" and has improved teamwork among the obstetricians, pediatricians, nurses and the laboratory.
