RESUMO
In the last two years we have performed intraoperative autotransfusion by a cell-saving-system in 46 patients causing a 70%-reduction in the need of homologous blood transfusion. 20% of these patients did not need homologous blood at all. Besides minimizing transfusion-associated risks, intraoperative autotransfusion had an evident cost-sparing effect.
