#NEWYDDION Bydd angen i tua 2,000 yn llai o fenywod yng Nghymru gael pigiad gwrth-D yn ystod eu beichiogrwydd, diolch i raglen brofi DNA di-gell y ffetws newydd sy'n cael ei lansio heddiw. Hyd yn hyn, mae pob menyw â grŵp gwaed RhD negatif (a elwid gynt yn Rhesws negatif) wedi cael cynnig pigiad gwrth-D i atal Clefyd Haemolytig y Ffetws a’r Babi Newydd-anedig (HDFN) – a elwir hefyd yn glefyd Rhesws. Bydd cyflwyno prawf gwaed syml i'r llwybr sgrinio yn cael ei gynnig i'r holl fenywod RhD negatif nad oes ganddynt wrthgyrff yn eu gwaed. Gellir cynnig hyn ar tua 16eg wythnos o feichiogrwydd, a gall ragweld yn gywir y math o waed sydd gan y babi. Mae hyn yn golygu y gellir targedu'r pigiad gwrth-D yn gywir at y menywod hynny sydd ei angen. Darganfyddwch fwy ⬇️: https://lnkd.in/e_6S5CAa

#NEWS Around 2,000 fewer women in Wales will need to have an anti-D injection during their pregnancy, thanks to a new cell-free fetal DNA testing programme being launched today. Until now, all pregnant women with a RhD negative blood group (previously called Rhesus negative) have been offered the anti-D injection to prevent Haemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN) – also known as Rhesus disease. The introduction of a simple blood test to the screening pathway will be offered to all RhD negative women who do not have maternal antibodies. This can be offered at around the 16th week of pregnancy, and can accurately predict the blood type of the baby. This means that the anti-D injection can be accurately targeted at those women who need it. Find out more ⬇️: https://lnkd.in/e4gGKkFy

Mae menywod beichiog yn cael cynnig brechiad Pertussis o wythnosau 16 i 32 o feichiogrwydd, i amddiffyn babanod newydd-anedig yn ystod 8 wythnos gyntaf eu bywyd. Mae babanod yn cael cynnig y brechlyn fel mater o drefn yn ystod wythnosau 8, 12 ac 16, yn ogystal â dos atgyfnerthu cyn ysgol ar oddeutu 3 blynedd a 4 mis.

Pregnant women are offered the Pertussis vaccination from weeks 16 to 32 of pregnancy, to protect newborn babies in the first 8 weeks of life. Babies are routinely offered the vaccine at 8, 12 and 16 weeks, as well as a pre-school booster dose at around 3 years and 4 months. Find out more ⬇️: https://lnkd.in/ez-wFK8g #VaccinationSavesLives

Mae astudiaeth gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru sy'n archwilio ymyriadau adsefydlu a gynhaliwyd mewn ymateb i bryderon ynghylch amseroedd aros hir ar ôl pandemig Covid, wedi nodi bod angen mwy o ymchwil i ddeall yn llawn eu heffeithiolrwydd ar gyfer gwella iechyd cleifion wrth aros am lawdriniaeth. Mae rhagsefydlu yn ddull sydd â'r nod o wella iechyd cleifion cyn iddynt gael gweithdrefnau llawfeddygol. Yn wahanol i adsefydlu, sy'n canolbwyntio ar adferiad ar ôl llawdriniaeth, mae rhagsefydlu yn canolbwyntio ar baratoi cleifion yn gorfforol, yn feddyliol ac yn emosiynol cyn eu llawdriniaeth. 💬 Dywedodd Amy Hookway, Prif Ddadansoddwr Tystiolaeth a Gwybodaeth Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru: "Er bod yr adolygiad hwn yn tynnu sylw at ystod amrywiol o ymyriadau sydd ar gael i gleifion sy'n aros am lawdriniaeth, mae hefyd yn dangos bod peth o'r dystiolaeth am eu heffeithiolrwydd yn parhau i fod yn anghyson. Er mwyn helpu i wella canlyniadau cleifion mae'n hanfodol bod astudiaethau pellach yn cael eu cynnal i werthuso effeithiolrwydd yr ymyriadau hyn." Disgwylir i ganfyddiadau'r adolygiad helpu gyda datblygu polisi a dyrannu adnoddau yng Nghymru, gyda'r nod o gyfyngu ar effeithiau amseroedd aros llawfeddygol hir ar iechyd a lles cleifion.

#NEWS A Public Health Wales study exploring prehabilitation interventions conducted in response to concerns over long waiting times after the covid pandemic, has identified that more research is needed to fully understand their effectiveness for improving patients’ health whilst waiting for surgery. Prehabilitation is an approach aimed at improving the health of patients before they undergo surgical procedures. Unlike rehabilitation, which focuses on recovery after surgery, prehabilitation focuses on preparing patients physically, mentally, and emotionally prior to their surgery. 💬 Amy Hookway, Principal Evidence and Knowledge Analyst at Public Health Wales said: “While this review highlights a diverse range of interventions available for patients awaiting surgery, it also shows that some of the evidence for their effectiveness remains inconsistent. To help improve patient outcomes it's imperative that further studies are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions.” The review findings are expected to help with policy development and allocation of resources in Wales, aiming to limit the ill-effects of long surgical waiting times on patient health and well-being.
