  • Title: [The Haemonetics cell saver in open heart surgery (author's transl)].
    Author: Saggau W, Späth J, Tanzeem A, Storch HH, Schmitz W.

    Abstract:
    A prospective study in 20 patients undergoing open heart surgery showed that up to 48 per cent of the required transfusion volume could be provided by autologous centrifuged blood. Re-transfusion of the washed packed red cells free of cell debris, heparin and aggregate significantly reduced blood loss both during and after the operation. The haemonetics cell saver is a valuable aid in the auto-transfusion technique.
