Abstract Purpose We sought to conduct a quality improvement initiative to compare the wash quality and speed of autologous red blood cell (RBC) processing of four autotransfusion devices during cardiac..
Read More
Abstract Introduction During surgery, blood is recovered from the surgical field and the autotransfusion device separates and washes the red blood cells (RBC’s) after which these can be retransfused to..
