    This study introduces a simple, disposable device for intraoperative reinfusion of shed blood. The method minimizes blood trauma, showing minimal hemolysis and platelet drop in canine experiments.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Transfusion Medicine

    Background:

    • Intraoperative blood salvage is crucial for reducing allogeneic blood transfusions.
    • Existing methods can be complex or lead to significant blood cell damage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel disposable device for intraoperative reinfusion of autologous shed blood.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of this device in minimizing blood trauma.

    Main Methods:

    • A disposable polycarbonate container with an antifoam-coated filter was used.
    • Sodium citrate and shed blood were aspirated, followed by inverted reinfusion.
    • Canine models were used to test the device's performance.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The procedure demonstrated minimal hemolysis.
    • A minor decrease in platelet count was observed.
    • No mortality or morbidity was recorded in the experimental subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • The disposable device offers a simple and effective method for intraoperative blood reinfusion.
    • This technique significantly reduces blood trauma compared to conventional methods.
    • The device presents advantages in terms of disposability and ease of use.
