Clinical Applications

Despite being a widely used procedure, there are known risks associated with blood transfusion. Adverse events are still found in clinical practice related either directly or indirectly to homologous blood transfusion.3,4


Autotransfusion plays a key role as part of an effective blood management strategy.5 It can contribute to improved clinical outcomes in a cost-effective manner, either as stand-alone or as part of a Patient Blood Management program.6-8

In Cardiac Surgery

Patients undergoing cardiac surgeries are commonly at an advanced stage and comorbidities such as myocardial infarction, making effective blood products management an essential component of their care.9-11

 

Autotransfusion lowers the transfusion rates during and after Cardiac Surgery.7,8

 

In Cardiac Surgery
Outside of Cardiac Surgery

The rate of allogeneic red blood cell transfusions in non-cardiac surgery settings has been found to be between 21% and 70%, with the majority of authors reporting figures in the middle of the range.12  Allogeneic blood transfusion raises multiple challenges:13

  • Risk of pathogen transmission
  • Health/economic costs
  • Scarcity of resources

Autotransfusion supports clinicians and patients in reducing blood transfusions.4  What’s more, it is a cost-effective option in different surgical fields.8

  • In orthopedics, autotransfusion is safe, effective and reduces the risk of transmission of infections.1
  •  In vascular surgery, it reduces the risk of allogeneic blood transfusion, the length of intensive care unit and hospital length stay.15-17
  • In obstetric surgery, autotransfusion is considered to be more effective and useful than the other blood conservation techniques and endorsed by CEMACH, OAA/AAGBI guidelines, the National Blood Service and NICE.16
  • In transplant surgery, autotransfusion can reduce the need for heterologous blood transfusion and the risk of transmissible diseases.19,20

2. CONTRAINDICATIONS

For intra and Post-operative cell salvage (XTRA; XVAC, XTRA BOWL SYSTEM, XTRA XRES BLOOD
COLLECTION RESERVOIRS, XTRA COLLECTION SETS and XTRA ACCESSORIES.

There are no known absolute contraindications for the use of XTRA system. However, potential contamination of the aspirated blood with bowel contents, infection or tumoral cells should be regarded as a relative contraindication for the reinfusion of salvaged blood, depending on the likelihood/degree of contamination. In these situations, an assessment of the risks and benefits of reinfusion of the salvaged blood should occur.

For Pre-operative Sequestration (XTRA, BOWL SET SEQUESTRATION SET X and XTRA ACCESSORIES)
The absolute contraindications are platelet disfunction syndrome and critical thrombocytopenia. The relative
contraindications are consistent use of Non-Steroid Anti-inflammatory Drug within 48 hours of procedures,
platelet count lower than 105/ul and patient under antiplatelet medication.

For GOCCIA filters.
