Cell Saver in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: Helping or Hurting?

While controlling for operative time, CS use in ASD surgery was independently associated with increased intraoperative transfusions, medical complications, and prolonged hypotension without an improvement in postoperative hematocrit levels. Although giving patients back their own blood products seems beneficial, these data question the safety of CS use in ASD surgery.

Abstract

While controlling for operative time, CS use in ASD surgery was independently associated with increased intraoperative transfusions, medical complications, and prolonged hypotension without an improvement in postoperative hematocrit levels. Although giving patients back their own blood products seems beneficial, these data question the safety of CS use in ASD surgery.
