Q

Cell Saver

A

Intraoperative cell salvage machine suctions, washes, and filters blood so it can be given back to the patient’s body instead of being thrown away

Q

Fill Phase

A
  • Centrifuge/accelerates to the speed selected on the centrifuge speed control (~5600 rpm)
  • Pump begins rotation, transferring reservoir contents to was bowl
  • Application of centripetal acceleration separates the components of the fluid according to their weight (layering)

Q

During the fill phase, the wash bowl filling continues until what?

A

Until the buffy coat reaches the shoulder of the wash bowl

30
Q

What happens in the “auto mode” of the fill phase?

A

Autotransfusion devices have automatic buffy coat sensor which is calibrated to detect a fill bowl.
Fill phase–> wash phase automatically

31
Q

Wash phase

A

when the bowl is filled: the pump starts (clamps adjust)

wash solution –> wash bowl

32
Q

In the wash phase, washing continues until when?

A

Until the reinfuse/empty button is depressed (or the program ends and the predetermined amount of wash solution has been used)

33
Q

What way does effluent move in the wash phase?

A

Wash bowl –> waste bag

34
Q

What way does effluent move in the wash phase?

A

Wash bowl –> waste bag

35
Q

In manual mode (wash phase), what do you need to watch for?

A

Watch for clear effluent

36
Q

What happens in the empty phase?

A

The centrifuge stops, then transfers wash bowl –> reinfusion bag
The cycle ends and a new cycle can begin
The reinfusion bag should not be used for direct pressure infusion –> patient
The reinfusion bag may contain air
Therefore, a separate blood bag attached to the reinfusion bag is used
Disconnect –> air purge–> tied off

37
Q

Blood should be reinfused within how many hours of washing?

A

AABB- 4 hours

Manual of Clinical Perfusion- 6 hours

Q

Record Keeping

A

A signed autologous cell saver record must be kept for every case
All the input and output data is recorded
Usually single sheet that may contain:
-Volume collected for reinfusion
-Hct for reinfusion volume (WPRBC’s -QC)
-Type and volume of wash solution used
-Heparinized saline/CPD concentration & amount used
-Date/time/patient information

43
Q

Indications

A

Control blood loss
Recovery of blood lost during surgery
Rare blood groups w/o blood available
Risk of infectious disease transmission
Autotransfusion is common intraoperatively/postop
recovery of blood in ECC at end of surgery from aspirated damage

44
Q

When can autotransfusion be done?

A

Post protamine
CPB circuit salvage
ICU pre-washing
pRBCS for pediatrics

45
Q

What are some advantages of autotransfusion?

A 
High levels of 2,3-DPG 
Normothermic (bank blood is cold)
pH relatively normal
lower risk of infectious disease
functionally superior cells
lower potassium (compared to stored blood)
quickly available
46
Q

What does 2,3-DPG do?

A

Helps with oxygen transfer

47
Q

What substances are washed out?

A 
plasma
platelets
WBCs
anticoagulation solution
plasma free hemoglobin
cellular stroma
activated clotting factors
intracellular enzymes
potassium
plasma bound antibiotics
48
Q

What are some contraindications?

A

presence of bacterial contaminations at surgical site
malignancy of surgical area
C-section (obstetrics)
topical hemostatic agents

49
Q

Any ________ procedure poses risk of contamination.

A

Abdominal

50
Q

If there is a question of possible contamination, what should happen?

A

Blood may be held until the surgeon determines whether or not bowel contents are in the surgical field (standby w/ reservoir)

51
Q

If blood is contaminated what should happen?

A

Entire contents should be discarded

*If patient’s life depends on this, it may be reinfused with the surgeon’s consent

52
Q

What will reduce the bacterial contamination of blood, but will not be totally eliminated?

A

Large amounts of 0.9% NS

53
Q

What will reduce the bacterial contamination of blood, but will not be totally eliminated?

A

Large amounts of 0.9% NS

54
Q

Malignancy

A

The possibility exists of reinfusion cancer cells form the surgical site

55
Q

What are some possible exceptions to the malignancy contraindication?

A

Removal of an encapsulated tumor possible; blood may be aspirated from the surgical site, processed and reinfused with the surgeon’s consent
-If an inadequate supply of blood exists (wprbcs may be used to support the patient with the surgeon’s consent

56
Q

What is recommended if using autotransfusion with malignancy?

A

Leukocyte reduction filters

57
Q

Why is autotransfusion not usually used in C-sections?

A

Possibility of amniotic fluid embolism exists, but emerging literature surggests that amniotic fluid is being cleared during the wash cycle

58
Q

Can a cell saver be used in a Jehovah’s witness patient?

A

Cell saver can be used with strict guidelines of irrigating profusely to remove amniotic fluid and then suctioning the blood that is being lost

59
Q

What are some topical hemostatic agents?

A 
Avitene
Helistat
Hemopad
instat
collagen type products
60
Q

Topical Hemostatic Agents

A 
Avitene
Helistat
Hemopad
instat
collagen type products

Waste or wall suction must be used
Autotransfused can be resumed once these products are flushed form the surgical site
If gelfoam, surgicel, thrombogen, thrombostat are used, autotranfusion possibly can continue (direct suctioning of these products should be avoided)

61
Q

Contraindications a perfusionist is most likely to encounter

A 
Wound infections
Pleural effusion
betadine
warm solutions
sterile water
malignancy
topical hemostatic agents
62
Q

Disadvantages of Autotransfusion

A

Depletion of plasma and platelets- to eliminate clotting factors and activated platelets, causes coagulopathy if reinfused

63
Q

When is the disadvantage of depletion of plasma and platelets evident?

A

When very large blood losses occur

64
Q

Typically, patient may require FFP/platelets when…

A

Estimated blood loss is greater than half of the patient’s blood volume; must test to determine the need for blood products

65
Q

Typically, patient may require FFP/platelets when…

A

Estimated blood loss is greater than half of the patient’s blood volume; must test to determine the need for blood products

66
Q

Special Considerations: Orthopedic

A

Antibiotics which are plasma bound can be removed, topical antibiotics which are not plasma bound may not be washed out (may actually become concentrated to the point of being nephrotoxic)

Cement is often used or encountered during primary or revision total join replacement surgery. Cement in the liquid or soft state should not be introduced into the autotransfusion system

67
Q

The use of ultrasonic equipment during revision of total joints does what?

A

Changes the cement to a liquid or soft state precluding autotransfusion during the use of such equipment

68
Q

Special Considerations: Emergency

A

in life saving situations with the consent of the surgeon, autotransfusion can be utilized in the presence of the previous stated contraindications i.e. sepsis, bowl contamination and malignancy

69
Q

What is the governing body of autotransfusion?

A

International Board of Blood Management (CPBMT)

70
Q

What is the IBBM’s mission?

TO promote education and sound scientific principles to advance the safe and competent practice of perioperative blood management

71
Q

In order to become a Certified Perioperative Blood Management Technologist (CPBMT)

A

Min high school diploma/equivalent
Be practicing in the field of blood management for a min of 1 year
