Autotransfusion after open heart surgery: the oxygen delivery capacity of shed mediastinal blood is maintained

Autotransfusion of mediastinal shed blood after open heart surgery has become a common and accepted procedure in reducing the need for homologous transfusion during the last 15 years. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the oxygen delivery capacity of autotransfused shed mediastinal blood, compared to patient‐blood, during cardiopulmonary bypass and in the postoperative period.
