Autotransfusion after open heart surgery: quality of shed mediastinal blood compared to banked blood

The need to conserve a patient's own blood and avoid homologous transfusion is now well recognized. Therefore, techniques designed to reduce requirements for homologous blood transfusions have been developed. One of the methods is autotransfusion of shed mediastinal blood after open‐heart surgery. The objectives of the present study were to investigate osmotic fragility and oxygen transport capacity of shed mediastinal blood compared to patient blood and stored packed red blood cells (SAGM).
