Effect of intraoperative cell salvage on postoperative blood transfusion demand outcomes in cesarean section with placenta previa: a retrospective study with propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to analyze the postoperative blood transfusion demand and safety of intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) without leukocyte depletion filters in cesarean sections complicated by placenta previa.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the electronic medical records of a teaching hospital in China between July 2014 and January 2025. Women were categorized into three groups based on the intraoperative transfusion method: ICS group (ICS), allogeneic blood transfusion group (ABT), and ICS combined with ABT group (ABTICS). The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative blood transfusions. The secondary outcomes included postoperative complications (amniotic fluid embolism, disseminated intravascular coagulation [DIC], puerperal or incision infection, a
