This article aims at reviewing the currently available evidence about blood conservation
strategies in cardiac surgery. Pre‐operative anaemia and perioperative allogeneic blood …

The Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, in partnership with The Society of Thoracic
Surgeons, has developed the Adult Cardiac Anesthesiology Section of the Adult Cardiac …

Objective Cell salvage (CS) reduces intraoperative blood transfusion. However, it may
cause deformity of the red blood cells and loss of coagulation factors, which may lead to …

Objectives Coagulation function dynamically changes during cardiac surgery and is
normalized after surgery. The authors investigated changes of coagulation function during …

Results A total of 704 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were analysed, of whom 338
underwent surgery with CS (CS group) and 366 were without CS (control group) …

Background: Blood loss is common during surgical procedures, especially in open cardiac
surgery. Allogenic blood transfusion is associated with increased morbidity and mortality …

Aims The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the evidence for the use of
intraoperative cell salvage in patients undergoing revision hip arthroplasty, and specifically …

Aims Intraoperative blood salvage (IBS) is associated with shortened lifespan of red blood
cells (RBCs). This study aims to examine how salvaged RBCs are compromised during IBS …

Die maschinelle Autotransfusion (MAT) ist eine effektive Methode, um die Transfusion von
Fremdblut zu reduzieren. Dies wird durch eine Reihe von Metaanalysen belegt, wie eine …

Objective Although intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) has been widely used to reduce the
demand for allogeneic blood transfusion, patients who use ICS approach still have not …
