Limitations of blood conservation.

TL;DR: The hemodynamic and myocardial metabolic responses to normovolemic hemodilution were assessed in a prospective randomized trial and blood bank requirements were less in the crystalloid group than in the colloid group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraoperative Autologous Transfusion

TL;DR: Concerns about use of autologous transfusion in patients who have an infection or a malignant lesion persist, but hematologic aberrations are related to massive transfusions and should not be considered a contraindication to the general use of Autologous blood.

Routine Use of Autotransfusion Following Cardiac Surgery: Experience in 700 Patients

TL;DR: In contrast to perioperative autotransfusion techniques, collection and reinfusion of shed mediastinal blood is particularly useful for intravascular volume replacement in patients with serious postoperative bleeding.

Bacteriologic and endotoxin analysis of salvaged blood used in autologous transfusions during cardiac operations.

TL;DR: Although blood collected in the Cell Saver System and used for reinfusion during heart operations often was contaminated with gram-positive bacterial commensals of the skin and low concentrations of endotoxin, no adverse effects were noted in the patients.
