Intraoperative salvage may reduce transfusion needs in AAA repair; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does autologous predonation, haemodilution, and intraoperative blood salvage reduce the need for homologous transfusion in patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair?
Autologous predonation, haemodilution, and intraoperative blood salvage can safely minimize the need for homologous blood transfusion during elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Tulloh et al. (1993) studied this question.
