  19. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Principles of Intraoperative Cell Salvage

  20. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Principles of Intraoperative Cell Salvage Collection • Blood is aspirated and mixed with anticoagulant through an aspiration and anticoagulation (A&A) line, into a collection reservoir. • The collection reservoir contains a filter that removes clots and other gross particulate matter.

  21. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Principles of Intraoperative Cell Salvage Separation • The reservoir contents are pumped/drawn into a spinning centrifuge system. • The RBC component is retained within the bowl while the lighter components are forced out into a waste line. • As the reservoir contents continue to enter the system and separate, the HCT within the system increases.

  22. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Principles of Intraoperative Cell Salvage Washing • IV normal saline (0.9% NaCl) is pumped into the spinning centrifuge system, passing through the heavier RBC component and out into the waste line displacing the remaining waste products

  23. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Principles of Intraoperative Cell Salvage Most systems have a minimum wash volume recommended by the manufacturer. It is not advisable to decrease the wash volume below this level. It is advisable to increase the wash volume for procedures where there is a high risk of contamination of salvaged blood, e.g. obstetrics and orthopaedics.

  24. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Principles of Intraoperative Cell Salvage Reinfusion • The end product of washed, packed RBCs suspended in IV normal saline (0.9% NaCl) is pumped to a bag ready for reinfusion.

  25. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Principles of Intraoperative Cell Salvage ICS can reduce and sometimes eliminate the need to transfuse allogeneic (donor) RBCs. In cases where large blood loss occurs, patients receiving ICS may still become depleted of clotting factors and platelets. In such cases transfusion of allogeneic (donor) components such as fresh frozen plasma (FFP), platelets or cryoprecipitate may be required.

  31. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Indications and Contraindications • Cautions • Hartmann’s can inhibit the action of ACD-A anticoagulant if used as an irrigant or wash solution • Air will be present in the reinfusion bag (risk of air embolus) • Automatic mode is recommended

  32. UK CELL SALVAGE ACTION GROUP EDUCATION WORKBOOK Indications and Contraindications • Areas for further consideration • Infected fields • Malignancy • Obstetrics The decision to use blood that is potentially contaminated with bacteria, malignant cells or amniotic fluid should be made by the clinicians caring for the patients, taking into account the latest evidence and considering the risks and benefits for the individual patient.
