Perioperative blood salvage (PBS) is a blood-saving method used during surgery involving substantial blood loss. It avoids the use of allogenic blood by collecting and then reinfusing the patient’s own blood. Blood is collected from the operative site or postoperative wound. Two types of system (single-use medical devices (SUD)) are available in France for PBS: a system with filtration, concentration and washing, and a system without washing.
