Remember our recommendation to use swab washing intheatre it
will dramatically increase the volume of bloodavailable in cell
salvage. Heres the steps presented by theShef eld team at our
October meeting:
1. Set up a sterile bowl with 1000ml sterile IV grade
0.9%saline.2. Soak blood soiled swabs for a few minutes in the
saline toextract red cells.3. Gently compress the swabs to express
any residualsolution before discarding (dont wring!).4. At the end
of the procedure, aspirate the swab washsolution into the cell
salvage reservoir using the suction line.5. The swab wash should
not be left for more than 6 hourswithout processing.
