Autotransfusion in gynecologic hemoperitoneum
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
|July 1, 1983
Abstract:
The loss of blood associated with acute hemoperitoneum accounts for a significant portion of the mortality in gynecologic practice. This report proposes the salvage of intraperitoneal blood for autotransfusion by a device developed for use in open heart operations. Two cases are presented which exemplify the indications for and limitations of autologous transfusion from hemoperitoneum.
