How would I establish a perioperative blood salvage program?

Mary Berg et al. Transfusion. 2013 Sep.

Abstract

Nearly one-quarter of the nation's blood supply is transfused to surgical patients. In many institutions, blood management programs that include autotransfusion (perioperative blood salvage) have been developed to decrease the need for allogeneic transfusion in eligible surgical patients. This article reviews management concepts related to an autotransfusion service.
