Abstract

Background: Bombay and Para-Bombay blood groups are rare blood types characterised by the absence of H antigen on the surface of red blood cells. This condition has a significant impact on diagnosis and blood transfusion, as individuals with these blood types can only receive donors with the same blood type. Methods: This study conducted a literature review by searching articles in databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and SciELO. The selected articles included the last five years of original research on Bombay and Para-Bombay blood groups, antigenic differences, as well as their clinical implications. Results: Bombay blood group lacks FUT1 enzyme activity, hence H, A and B antigens are not formed. In contrast, the Para-Bombay blood group has very low FUT1 activity, producing few A or B antigens. The Bombay phenotype is often mistaken for blood group O, despite having anti-H antibodies, which can trigger acute haemolytic transfusion reactions. Specialised testing, such as anti-H lectin, is important to ensure blood compatibility. Further research on FUT1 gene variations may deepen molecular understanding and support clinical management of patients. Conclusion: Bombay and Para-Bombay blood groups require special attention in diagnosis and transfusion. Better antigenic understanding and appropriate diagnostic techniques may prevent fatal complications and improve transfusion therapy.

Abstract

The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains relatively high, with postpartum infection being one of the leading causes. The postpartum period is a critical phase during which physiological changes occur, increasing the risk of infection. However, the lack of adequate maternal health monitoring remains a challenge in the early detection of complications. This study aims to implement health technology-based monitoring using wearable sensors (HRV sensor/smartwatch) and axillary thermometers to detect changes in maternal body temperature and heart rate variability during the postpartum period. A total of 20 postpartum mothers, aged 2-14 days, from Pagesangan Subdistrict, were monitored for seven days. The results showed that the majority of participants (90%) were in good health; however, two participants (10%) experienced an increase in body temperature above 38°C and unstable HRV, which are early indicators of postpartum infection. These participants were immediately provided with additional health education and referred to healthcare professionals for further examination. Meanwhile, the remaining participants continued to receive routine monitoring and education regarding postpartum infection prevention. The implementation of this community service program demonstrated that health technology-based monitoring is effective in detecting real-time health condition changes, allowing for faster medical interventions and increasing maternal awareness of postpartum health. The findings suggest that this method can serve as an innovative approach to reducing postpartum infection risks and improving maternal health quality. Further development and wider application of this approach in other regions are recommended to enhance postpartum care and maternal well-being.
