If
these products are used during the autotransfusion surgical procedure, be
sure to avoid aspirating any of the product into the autotransfusion
reservoir. If the physician chooses to continue with autotransfusion,
make sure he irrigates the area with large amounts of 0.9% sodium
chloride, and suctions the irrigation through a waste suction device.

If
these solutions are aspirated in the autotransfusion reservoir during
surgical procedure, be sure to
discuss
the medical risks with the physician and medical staff to determine when
to terminate the
use
of autotransfusion. |

products may cause red cell destruction, renal toxicity, or clotting
activation, septicemia, or autotransfusion reservoir clogging
|
|

Blood
Disorders
|
These
are some blood disorders that make autotransfusion prohibitive
|
|
Sickle
Cell Trait |
Sickle
Cell Anemia |
Cold
Agglutinin Antibody |
|
Cold
agglutination of red blood cells may occur at blood temperatures lower
than 37 degrees celcius, which can occur during the wash phase of
autotransfusion. The washing of red blood cells on a patient with
sickle cell anemia or trait can cause the red blood cells to sickle. |
