Summary:Intra-operative transfusion was used with Cell Saver Haemonetics III in 90 children undergoing spinal surgery for scoliosis. This technic keeps pace with controlled bleeding by collecting and processing shed blood and reinfusing washed packed red cells. During high blood loss procedures this device allowed to save up 51% of shed red cells. Our study of the intra-operative bleeding and its replacement was assessed with calculation using an individual regression line for each patient. Statistical analysis was performed by using multivariate correlation and "step wise analysis".
