AI 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.
Article Abstract
Certain obstetric situations, such as abnormalities in placental invasion, present a major hemorrhagic risk often requiring massive transfusion. To reduce complications associated with massive transfusions and minimize the use of the labile blood product stock, perioperative blood salvage techniques, such as the Cell-saver, have been developed, including in obstetrics. The aim of this article is to provide an update on the use of the Cell-saver in obstetrics, particularly during high hemorrhagic risk obstetric surgeries (such as surgeries for placenta accreta). Firstly, we will review the indications for using the Cell-saver in obstetrics and the technical modalities described in the literature and at our expert center. Secondly, in light of the literature data, we will list the benefits associated with the use of the Cell-saver in obstetrics as well as its risks, complications, and contraindications.

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.

Article Synopsis
- * Conducted through the MaCriCare network, the survey gathered data from 1133 participants across 26 countries, highlighting significant gaps in essential services like point-of-care hemoglobin and lactate measurements, and access to transfusion and ventilation facilities.
- * The findings reveal substantial disparities in resources available to obstetric units, emphasizing an urgent need for a consensus on essential services for critically ill patients.
Impact of cell salvage on hematocrit and post-partum anemia in low hemorrhage risk elective cesarean delivery.

Article Synopsis
- Postpartum anemia is a common issue after childbirth, particularly affecting cesarean delivery patients, and the effects of cell salvage—a method that collects and reinfuses a patient's own blood—on anemia levels have not been thoroughly studied.
- In a retrospective study of 99 patients scheduled for elective cesarean deliveries, those who had access to cell salvage experienced less decrease in hematocrit levels and significantly reduced odds of developing anemia post-surgery.
- The findings suggest that using cell salvage during cesarean deliveries leads to better postoperative anemia outcomes without increasing transfusion-related complications, indicating a need for further research in this area.

Background: Hemorrhage anticipation and management has shifted significantly over the past decade due to evolution of data surrounding management of obstetric hemorrhage. Limited data exists which describe the practical use and clinical application of hemorrhage management. Our goal was to identify obstetric hemorrhage management patterns in a cohort of practicing Maternal Fetal Medicine physicians.
