| Title | Synchronous autotransfusion during cesarean hysterectomy. | | Author(s) | Hatfield T, Kraus H, McConnell D, Nageotte M | | Institution | Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of California, Irvine, Orange, CA. | | Source | Am J Obstet Gynecol 2009 Nov 2. | | Abstract | Placenta accreta is associated with major morbidities including massive hemorrhage. We report a cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta with synchronous autotransfusion using a standard cardiopulmonary bypass machine. This technique requires complete intraoperative heparinization yet has the advantage of autotransfusion of autologous clotting factors and platelets in addition to red blood cells. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
