SALVAGE Trial (Safety And cLinical Value of AutoloGous rEinfusion)
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery
In brief
The investigator hypothesizes intraoperative salvaged red blood cells are a poor substitute for allogenic packed red blood cell transfusions. In addition to providing inadequate resuscitation, salvaged red blood cells can increase the rate of complications, including postoperative electrolyte abnormalities, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and coagulopathy.
