The SALVO NewsletterStudy to assess cell-salvage in
obstetrics
Now that weve been given another year to recruit the remaining
797 patients to the study, many of you have already taken the
opportunity to re-advertise SALVO amongst your colleagues. This is
a great time to get additional staff trained up and create a
renewed buzz for the study, now that well be able to bring it to
completion as planned.

If your patient was randomised to normal care, you would
normally tick Not set up, or emergency use (if the use of cell
salvage becomes clinically indicated during surgery. Some sites
have their machines in dry set-up for such situations). If cell
salvage is fully set-up upfront and used for those randomised to
normal care, this would be ticked as set up on the form; obviously
this would be non-compliance with the randomisation and well all
try to keep such deviations to a minimum!Remember that if your
patient was randomised to cell salvage, you would normally tick
either Set up or unavailable/out of order. Emergency use does not
apply here.
How to correctly document the set-up of cell salvage on the
Intra-Operative Form?

Teleconferences
Following on from the Whiston teams report in the May
Newsletter, Sarah and her colleagues gave washing swabs in 2 litres
of saline a go I dont think well be going back! was the verdict.
The higher volume of saline helped to remove more cells from the
swabs see picture right.
After a succesful retransfusion: The theatre team at Royal
London
The trial steering committee met recently and reviewed our
progress, including the safety updates. We recently reported on a
related Serious Adverse Event (reaction to salvaged blood
transfusion) that was assessed to be related to the use of the
Leukocyte Depletion Filter. We do not at this point advise for or
against the use of the filter, and the committee agrees that its
use remains the local decision.
These are our upcoming teleconference dates do dial in and
exchange ideas and issue with us and your colleagues:
