摘要
The reported benefits of intraoperative cell salvage are decreased requirement for blood transfusion and cost-effectiveness. This study was designed to challenge this hypothesis. We assessed intraoperative blood loss and the use of cell saver in our institution. In <7% of cases the volume of blood loss was sufficient enough to be washed and returned. We conclude that the routine use of cell savers in all cardiac operations affords no benefit and consumes additional revenue. We recommend that the system only be considered in selected high-risk cases or complex procedures. (C) 2011 Published by European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. All rights reserved.
