Impact of Cell Salvage on Hematocrit and Post-Partum Anemia in Low Hemorrhage Risk Elective Cesarean Delivery

Postpartum anemia is a significant contributor to peripartum morbidity. The utilization of cell salvage in low risk cases and its impact on postpartum anemia has not been investigated. We therefore aimed to examine the impact of autologous blood transfusion/cell salvage in routine cesarean delivery on postoperative hematocrit and anemia.
