PAS/Cell Saver Services

PAS/Cell Saver Services is an OPERATING ROOM OPTION

Perioperative Autologous Services is the process of collecting, washing and transfusing a patient's own blood lost during and after surgery. PAS/Cell Saver equipment and personnel assist surgical teams during procedures where a large blood loss may be expected. Total hip and knee replacement, prostatectomy, vascular, transplant and cardiac surgeries commonly use a cell saver during the procedure. As more physicians learn that the Red Cross offers this blood recovery option, PAS/Cell Saver procedures are reaching an all-time high in central Ohio and surrounding communities
