The Role of Washed Autotransfusion in Patient Blood Management | LIVANOVA [IM-01581A]

For decades, physicians have understood the power of blood transfusions in correcting physiologic abnormalities associated with anemia and their life saving potential in actively bleeding patients in cardiac and non cardiac surgery.
In order to reduce allogeneic transfusions and associated risks, hospitals are developping patient blood management strategies. They minimize blood loss and anemia.
One particularly notable therapy available to minimize intraoperative blood loss is washed auto transfusion. It consists of the collection, concentration, washing and reinfusion of the patient's own blood.
