Cell Salvage process optimization drives quality
An analysis of 238 centrifugal cell salvage procedures (154 men, 84 women) demonstrated that quality control benchmarks were consistently achieved, reinforcing the reliability of autologous transfusion in surgical care.
Nevertheless, some variability was observed:
🔴Hematocrit targets were not met in 22% of cases
🔴Total protein elimination was insufficient in 8%
Patient-specific factors, such as age, gender, and surgical indication, had minimal impact on these outcomes.
Instead, variability was driven in nonemergency cases, by technical and procedural conditions, such as:
🔵 Low collection volumes
🔵 Excessive dilution with irrigation fluids
Anesthesiologists play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality of autologous transfusion. With real-time awareness, they adapt collection and wash parameters, even in complex or suboptimal surgical conditions, to uphold transfusion standards and protect patient outcomes.
Curious to test microfiltration technology under similar conditions, independent of centrifugal systems?
