Abstract:
Intraoperative rapid autologous blood transfusion is a resource that is available in many operating suites but is currently underused in gynecologic surgery. A case is presented in which an intraoperative autotransfusion of 1560 ml of free intraperitoneal blood was performed to aid in resuscitation of a 31-year-old woman with a ruptured tubal pregnancy.
