Key point from my invasive CO talk the other day #CHEST2025
Myth-busting on periop autologous red blood cell salvage
🚿overview of process
Myths on cell-salvaged blood
⚖️ 1️⃣ poor quality/inferior to allogeneic RBCs
🩸 2️⃣ increases bleeding
🚧 3️⃣ not safe in many surgeries
💶 4️⃣ not cost-effective

I would normally not have batted an eye at this paper
But it’s by Robert Hahn, and is a nice overview of everything we know about fluid redistribution in the critically unwell- including gel phase, some glycocalyx stuff, 3 compartment models, and albumin escape rates

Where does the fluid go?
💦 morphological changes/damage by fluid overload
🛌 fluid distribution in anesthesia
3️⃣ extracellular fluid compartments
💧 physiology, manipulation & max filling of slow-exchange fluid space
🔥 inflammation, capillary leakage & lymphatic flow 💦
🥚 albumin
