Overview

Cell saver device C.A.T.S. was used perioperatively for autotransfusion during corrective operations for trauma or spine deformities. The effectson homeostasis were assessed in 16 patients. Following data were obtained prior and after autotransfusion: Na, K, Cl, bilirubin, urea and creatinine.Statistical evaluation using t-test yielded no significant differences between the followed parameters. Autotransfusion technique using cell saver deviceC.A.T.S. does not affect homeostasis.

Key words:
perioperative machine autotransfusion – C.A.T.S. – homeostasis
