  • Title: [Intraoperative autotransfusion and use of cell saver systems].
    Author: Schmandra TC, Klühs W, Wenisch HJ.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1996; 113():139-42. PubMed ID: 9101814.
    Abstract:
    In the last two years we have performed intraoperative autotransfusion by a cell-saving-system in 46 patients causing a 70%-reduction in the need of homologous blood transfusion. 20% of these patients did not need homologous blood at all. Besides minimizing transfusion-associated risks, intraoperative autotransfusion had an evident cost-sparing effect.
