AB244. The prevalence of intra operative cell salvage in Irish Hospitals
Mesentery and Peritoneum2020Vol. 4, pp. AB244–AB244
Abstract
Background: Perioperative cell salvage is a technique that avoids many of the complications of blood transfusion. Recent guidelines recommend the widespread availability of 24 hour cell salvage in any hospital undertaking surgery other than minor/day case procedures. We conducted a survey of hospitals in Ireland in order to determine the prevalence of access to cell salvage. We also assessed whether out-of-hours cell salvage access was in place.
