The efficacy of the autotransfusion system is a reducing the need of intraoperative and postoperative transfusion in cardiovascular surgery. Between January 1990 and December 1991, we experienced 23 cases of autotransfusion using Haemonetic Cell Saver in cardiovascular surgery [Experimental group]. Another 13 cases which were taken similiar operations without Cell Saver during same period [Control group]. The amounts of blood transfused are 4.23 1.84 units in Control group, 2.82 1.84 units in Experimental group. Postoperatively, both groups showed decreased platelet counts, mild prolongation of prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time compred to preoperative value [P<0.001], but there were no significant differences between two group [P=NS]. Plasma hemoglobin was markedly increased in Experimental group compared with Control group [p<0.05]. In Experimental group, amount of average processed blood by Cell Saver was 700ml of which composition was hemoglobin 17mg/dl, hematocrit 50.0%, RBC 5,590,000/ml, WBC 7500/ml, and platelet 40,000/ml. The culture of the processed blood revealed no growth of the organisms. Conclusively, Cell Saver autotransfusion system is a simple, safe, and cost effective method especially in the cases associated with massive bleeding. However, it requires familiarity with system, gentle manipulation of suction tip, and careful selection of candidates to obtain maximal benefits .

Homologous blood transfusion entails substantial risks, including allergic reactions, transmission diseases such as hepatitis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Autotransfusion system is a common method of reducing the need for homologous blood transfusion during cardiac operation. Between July 1993 and July 1995, a series of 40 patients undergoing open heart surgery was selected to an autotransfusion group(n=20) or a control group(n=20). The cell saver system(AT1000, Electromedics, Englewood, CO, USA) was employed for autotransfusion. With this system, shed blood in operative field during cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) and remained blood in cardiotomy reservior after CPB was aspirated by means of a locally heparinized collecting system. After centrifuge salvaged blood, the resulting red cell concentrate reinfused subsequently. The amounts of blood loss were 766.5$\pm$121.3 ml in cell saver group, 770.1$\pm$113.6 ml in control group, and there were no significant differences between two groups(P=NS). The amounts of blood transfused were 2.91$\pm$1.72 units in cell saver group, 4.82$\pm$1.72 units in control group. Composition of processed blood by cell saver was hemoglobin 17.4 gm%, hematocrit 56.4%, RBC 5,780,000/ul, WBC 9,900/ul, and platelet 33,000/ul. There was no complication related to cell saver. Conclusively, cell saver autotransfusion system is safe, effective method for reducing the homologous blood trasfusion in cardiac surgery.

Autotransfusion system is a common method of reducing the need of intraoperative and postoperative homologous blood transfusion in cardiac operation. Between August 1991 and August 1993, a series of 51 adults undergoing open heart surgery was selected. Autotransfusion using Cell Saver [COBE Baylor Rapid Autologous Transfusion System was done with homologous blood transfusion in 15 cases [Group II or without homologous blood transfusion in 17 cases [Group III . The other 19 cases were taken without Cell Saver for control [Group I . The shed blood in the operative field, remained blood in the oxygenator after cardiopulmonary bypass, and blood drained from chest tubes in postoperative care were aspirated by means of a locally heparinized collection system. After the salvaged blood was washed and centrifuged, the processed blood subsequently reinfused. Composition of processed blood by Cell Saver was hemoglobin 16.9gm%, hematocrit 49%, RBC 5,140,000/ml, WBC 670/ml, and platelet 30,000/ml. In three group, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet counts were decreased postoperatively, but no significant differences between three group. Postoperatively, the amounts of drainage from chest tubes was 543$\pm$121ml in Group I, 809$\pm$201ml in Group II, and 631$\pm$147ml in Group III. In Group II, there was large amount of drainage compared with Group I [p<0.05 . The amount of homologous blood transfused was 1116$\pm$219 ml in Group I, 791$\pm$183 ml in Group II [p<0.05 . The homologous blood was not transfused in 17 cases [53% with Cell Saver.Preoperative and postoperative, coagulation parameters showed no significant differences between three group. And there was no complication related to Cell Saver. We conclude that the autotransfusion using Cell Saver is effective for reducing the homologous blood transfusion in cardiac surgery.

Autologous blood transfusion is a common method of reducing the need for homologous blood transfusion during cardiac operations. Between June 1991 and May 1992, 12 cases [Group I] were experienced autologous blood transfusion using Cell Saver undergoing double valve replacement or redo-valve replacement. Control group [N=12, Group II] was selected to above similar operation during same period. The Cell Saver system [Haemonetics Corp.] was employed for autologous blood transfusion. The blood shed in the operative field before and after cardiopulmonary bypass and remained cardiotomy reservior was aspirated by means of a locally heparinized collecting system. After centrifused salvaged blood, the resulting red cell concentrate reinfused subsequently. The patient receiving autologous blood transfusion required significantly less homologous blood transfusion than their control group. [Group I; 3519 $\pm$ 869, Group II; 4622 $\pm$ 856, Respectively; P=0.005] There were no clinical infections in the autotransfusion group. And there was no apparent intergroup difference of the clinical findings, hematologio datas and coagulation parameters. We conclude the autotransfusion using Cell Saver is effective for reducing of the hom-ologlous blood transfusion in cardiac surgery.

During a eight month period[from December, 1988 to July, 1989], a series of 35 adults undergoing redo-valve replacement or coronary artery bypass grafting was selected to an autotransfusion group[n=10] or a control group[n=25]. The Cell Saver System[Haemonetics Corp., Graintree, Mass] was employed for autotransfusion. With this system, all blood shed in the operative field before and after cardiopulmonary bypass and remained in cardiotomy reservoir after cardiopulmonary bypass was aspirated by means of a locally heparinized collecting system. After the salvaged blood was centrifuged, the resulting red cell concentrate subsequently reinfused. The patients receiving autologous blood required significantly less banked homologous blood than their controls[3213k1020 ml and 506051931 ml, respectively: p=0.001] There were no clinical infections in the autotransfusion group, although 40% of the cultures of processed blood were positive. And there was no apparent intergroup difference of the clinical and the hematologic and hemostatic laboratory findings. We conclude that autotransfusion using cell saver is effective for saving the homologous blood transfusion in cardiac surgery.

In this research, the electric power consumptions of the electrical machinery and appliances selected in the Seoul division of Korea Electrical Safety Corporation were measured. The power-saving efficiency was investigated by comparing the amounts of the reserved electric power when the Saver was on or off through measuring that of the reserved electric power before and after equipping the selected appliances with the Saver, a cutoff of the reserved electric power. As a result, the power-saving efficiency was around 18% when the Saver was installed. It can be ascribed to the removal of the source wasting electrical energy. Furthermore, by blocking the reserved electric power, the electric fire can be originally prevented and also the life time of the electrical machinery and appliances can be postponed.
