Arthroplasty entails considerable exposure to allogenic blood transfusion. Cell salvage with
washing is a contemporary strategy that is not universally used despite considerable …

INTRODUCTION A number of ways of reducing blood loss in arthroplasty have been
explored, including preoperative autologous transfusion, intraoperative cell salvage and …

Background: Cell salvage is used to reduce allogeneic red blood-cell (RBC) transfusions in
total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We performed a meta-analysis …

BACKGROUND: The increasing costs, limited supply, and clinical risks associated with
allogeneic blood transfusion have prompted investigation into autologous blood …

Background Blood loss during total joint arthroplasty strongly influences the time to recover
after surgery and the quality of the recovery. Blood conservation strategies such as pre …

summary The efficiency of post‐operative cell saving after major joint arthroplasty has been
demonstrated in prospective studies focusing on blood management. In everyday practice …

Allogenic blood is a finite resource, with associated risks. Previous studies show
intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) can reduce allogenic transfusion rates in orthopaedic …

Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are at high risk for postoperative anemia
and allogeneic blood transfusions. Risks associated with allogeneic blood exposure (ie …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the
efficacy of the cell salvage system in total hip arthroplasty surgeries and whether the cell …

Background Requirements for allogeneic red cell transfusion after total knee arthroplasty are
still high (20–50%), and salvage and reinfusion of unwashed, filtered post-operative shed …
