[Experiences with intraoperative autotransfusion in the replacement of hip endoprostheses].
This is a report about the use of the Haemonetic Cell Saver for intraoperative retransfusion of blood in replacement of total hip prostheses. The amount of donor blood used was compared in two groups of patients: group II, using the Cell Saver, group I without it. In group II, there was an average of 1000 ml less donor blood used; in certain individual cases, more blood was used. Using the patient's own blood reduces the postoperative reduction of hemoglobin content in the blood by 0.5 g%.
