contents Impact of a cell salvage device on blood transfusions to dogs undergoing surgery at a referral veterinary hospital Núria Comas Collgros Vasilis Zapridis Janet Diana Godolphin Nicholas Bacon Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care AbstractObjectiveTo determine the number of homologous blood transfusions received by canine surgical patients after introducing a cell salvage device (CSD), trends in surgeries requiring blood transfusion, and the incidence of transfusion reactions.Study DesignRetrospective study.SettingSingle referral hospital.AnimalsAll dogs having surgery at a single center (November 2015 to February 2021).InterventionsMedical records of dogs having surgical treatment, including those that received either an autologous or homologous blood transfusion, were reviewed. The surgical patients were the baseline population, and the 2 transfusion groups were compared within this population to analyze the trends.Main ResultsA total of 37 and 86 dogs received autologous and homologous blood transfusions, respectively. There was an upward trend in the number of total monthly blood transfusions. No significant increase in the monthly number of homologous transfusions was observed before or after acquisition of the CSD. There was also an upward trend in total monthly surgeries, including those with higher risks of hemorrhage. Dogs receiving homologous blood transfusions had a higher incidence of clinical signs consistent with transfusion reactions (6.98%).ConclusionsAn upward trend in autologous blood transfusions was seen with the introduction of a CSD. Hospitals with large surgical caseloads at high risk of hemorrhage may see a decreased need for outsourced blood products with the use of the CSD. The device can lead to a more responsible use of an increasingly scarce resource and decrease the risk of a blood transfusion reaction in dogs. 10.1111/vec.13403 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
