Association of Anaesthetists guidelines: cell salvage for peri-operative blood conservation 2018
Abstract
The use of cell salvage is recommended when it can be expected to reduce the likelihood of allogeneic (donor) red cell transfusion and/or severe postoperative anaemia. We support and encourage a continued increase in the appropriate use of peri-operative cell salvage and we recommend that it should be available for immediate use 24 h a day in any hospital undertaking surgery where blood loss is a recognised potential complication (other than minor/day case procedures).
Keywords: blood conservation; cell; guidelines; peri-operative.
