Article Description

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) contributes significantly to maternal morbidity and mortality. The use of cell salvage has been implemented in operating rooms across the world, but only a limited number of institutions have protocols for use of cell salvage during vaginal hemorrhage at the time of vaginal delivery. Observations suggest that blood salvaged from vaginal delivery is comparable to blood salvaged during cesarean delivery. Using pre-validated protocols of cell salvage, we sought to assess the feasibility and potential benefit of implementing cell salvage in our Labor and Delivery unit in all patients at high risk of hemorrhage.
