The risks and costs associated with the use of allogeneic blood are well documented. With a price up to 1.400 USD allogeneic blood is becoming more and more expensive. And because transfusions temporarily suppress the immune system, it puts patients at undue risk of infection and complications.1 The risk of transfusion-related immunomodulation (TRIM)—the temporary suppression of the immune system—increases with...

Does your blood management program fully optimize cell salvage? Perioperative autotransfusion begins with the first incision and ends when the wound drains are removed. To minimize the likelihood of unnecessary allogeneic transfusions, optimal blood management programs need to collect, wash, and reinfuse a patient’s blood in the operating room and cardiac care unit.

But the risk of TRIM, infection, length of stay, and mortality also increase with each unit of allogeneic blood transfused. 8,9 In fact, one study shows that allogeneic transfusion is associated with a 70% increase in mortality in 16...

The appropriate standard of care In addition to providing chest drainage, the cardioPAT® Cardiovascular Perioperative Autotransfusion System collects, washes, and returns patients’ blood after surgery, giving them the best chance at avoiding unnecessary allogeneic transfusions and related risks of infection.

The cardioPAT QuickConnect Reservoir supports a cost-effective, “collect first” approach by allowing you to simply recover...
