Abstract
In a prospective, randomized study of 20 patients undergoing elective open-heart surgery, up to one-third of the total intraoperative and postoperative transfusion requirement could be provided by autologous centrifuged blood. Retransfusion of washed, packed red blood cells freed from cellular debris, heparin and activated clotting factors significantly reduced blood loss during and after surgery. The cell separator is a valuable aid in autotransfusion technique.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
