We are delighted to share with you our latest donation to Harrogate District Hospital.

On the 14th of March, 2023, Emma from Our Angels graciously delivered 30 ‘Smokelyzers’ to the antenatal unit, a donation valued at just under £8,000!

Ensuring Safety for Expectant Mothers and Babies

These carbon monoxide breath testers are vital tools that measure the levels of carbon monoxide in both a mother’s system and her baby’s. Each expectant mother will undergo this test at their initial booking appointment and throughout their pregnancy if needed. This proactive measure is crucial in ensuring the health and safety of both mother and child.

A Life-Saving Insight

The importance of these devices cannot be overstated. During our discussions about the purchase, one midwife shared a remarkable story: a pregnant woman who tested high for carbon monoxide despite never having smoked. The source of the dangerous fumes was a faulty exhaust in her car, leaking poisonous gases. This timely detection potentially saved her life and that of her unborn baby.

Midwives’ Overwhelming Support

The midwives at Harrogate District Hospital are thrilled to have these monitors. They will be used as part of their comprehensive safety checks, helping to ensure the wellbeing of both babies and mothers. The addition of these Smokelyzers enhances their ability to maintain a safe and healthy environment for expectant families.
