Due to the large number of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures and the subsequent increase in demand for blood volume replacement, the use of autotransfusion is increasing in the postoperative setting. In a study conducted by Roche and Stengel it was estimated that the country's blood resources could be depleted by these surgical procedures. The use of autotransfusion offers a viable solution for this problem. Studies suggest that with autotransfusion, bank blood requirements may decrease as much as 50 percent. The ready availability and economic advantages associated with autotransfusion may also ensure continued use of systems of this type. It has been the authors' experience thus far that both systems presented have been safe and effective when used in postoperative management of the cardiac surgical patient.
由于接受心脏外科手术的患者数量众多，且随后对血容量替代的需求增加，自体输血在术后环境中的使用正在增加。罗氏和施滕格尔进行的一项研究估计，这些外科手术可能会耗尽该国的血液资源。自体输血的使用为这个问题提供了一个可行的解决方案。研究表明，通过自体输血，库血需求量可能会减少多达50%。自体输血的随时可用和经济优势也可能确保此类系统的持续使用。根据作者目前的经验，所介绍的这两种系统在心脏外科手术患者的术后管理中使用时都是安全有效的。
