Clueless here. What in the world is a cell saver?

Kabuli, its a very good question, from where did you get it
I think the answer is 3) administration of hydroxyethyl starch
Hydroxyethyl Starch is Plasma volume expander for treatment of hypovolemia during surgery
Because intra-operative autologous blood donation and use of a cell saver both are same
A autologous transfusion is called intraoperative salvage. A specialized machine, sometimes called a cell saver, collects blood lost during a surgical procedure, and processes it so it can be returned to the patient's circulation.

i agree, it must be 3. A cell saver seems to be logical, also but i don´t think they could get too much blood, at least, not the enough for this pelvic fracture.

Right. 1 goes against ethix; 2 = 5 = reffused by Jehovah's Witnesses (I didn't know this until very recently: as soon as the blood leaves the body, it's considered impure  ); 4 is... most unlikely, yet somehow correct... last minute conversion, perhaps?  They probably are referring to misinformed consent, so can't be this one. 3 is the only one acceptable. Note, however, that treatments involving EPO are not refused by this religion...

Thanks, regegade thats a authentic explanation.
Hi Kabuli,
The same incident took place many years back at my place when we had few jewish families, with a lady would had PPH. I dont know much about the different religious belief but I thought that only Jewish people rejects blood transfusions. Thanks for rectifying my ignorance.

I guess it was inappropriate on my part to comment. I'll watch out, in the future.
