NATA Review

This recent Cochrane analysis underlines the benefits of cell salvage in orthopedic and cardiac surgery. There is a 21% absolute risk reduction in RBC usage without any clinical adverse event. Cell salvage should be a standard tool in the patient blood management concept for these patients.
