The Southern Arizona Regional Red Cross Blood Program, in cooperation with two cardiac surgery groups, examined the effect of intraoperative autotransfusion on red cell, plasma, and platelet usage during and after cardiac operations. The study evaluated whether intraoperative autotransfusion influenced intraoperative or postoperative blood usage and whether regular use was more effective than selective use. The study demonstrated that intraoperative autotransfusion reduces intraoperative and postoperative blood use and that regular use of intraoperative autotransfusion is more effective than selective use.
