The Association Between Intraoperative Cell Salvage and Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery – An Observational Study in A Patient Blood Management Centre

We hypothesised that the use of CS is associated with a decreased proportion of patients exposed to RBC transfusion as an individual measure in a comprehensive PBM program.
