In eighteen adult patients scheduled for cardiac and vascular surgery, shed blood was treated with the Haemonetics Cell Saver Haemolite. On average by patient, the autologous blood volume restored was 471.94 +/- 235.7 ml. The haemoglobin level was 16.88 g.dl-1 and haematocrit level was 49.31 +/- 7.2%. Thirteen by eighteen patients did not require any homologous blood transfusion. The Cell Saver Haemolite technique is restricted to moderate and gradual peroperative bleeding. This technique is particularly designed for vascular and pediatric surgery. Postoperative shed blood salvage is a marginal indication.

Introduction In idiopathic scoliosis surgery, studies have shown two attending surgeons have better curve correction, pain, and recovery time. There is conflicting evidence on operative time, blood loss, infection rate, and hospital length of stay. Limited literature examines the impact of surgeon experience on the dual approach.

Article Synopsis
- Certain obstetric situations, like issues with placental invasion, can lead to significant bleeding, often requiring extensive blood transfusions.
- To address the complications from massive transfusions and reduce the need for blood products, blood salvage techniques, particularly the Cell-saver, are being implemented in obstetric settings.
- This article aims to update readers on the Cell-saver's usage, examining its indications, technical aspects, and weighing its benefits against potential risks during high hemorrhage risk procedures.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with an increasing incidence in western countries over the past decades. During this period the numbers of PPH-related allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have also significantly increased. Given the increasing scarcity and risks of allogeneic RBC transfusions, which are also associated with adverse maternal outcomes, optimized blood management strategies are urgently needed in obstetrics.

Introduction: Contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (CR-AAA) refers to an acute aortic wall disruption leading to expansion of perivascular haematoma that is sealed off by peri-aortic structures. Low and middle income countries have a critical gap in managing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In Ethiopia, AAA screening is not routine and open surgical repair (OSR) using donated grafts remains the only treatment option.
