“Contraindications” to cell salvage
• Tumor• Amniotic fluid contamination• Bacterial contamination• Betadine• methylmethacrylate• Antibiotics not licensed for parenteral use

Amniotic Fluid Embolism
• Hypotension
• Pulmonary edema
• Coagulopathy
• Cardiopulmonary arrest
![Page 5: BBTS | Home | - Cell Salvage in Obstetrics...Cell Salvage in Obstetrics Jonathan H. Waters, M.D. Chief, Dept. of Anesthesiology, Magee Womens Hospital of UPMC Vice Chair, Clinical](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050106/5f44604142fa15101f139596/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Amniotic fluid embolism • No definitive causative agent.• May relate to biochemical component of amniotic fluid• May relate to particulate components of amniotic fluid• Incidence reported to range from 1:8000 to 1:30,000
deliveries. • Mortality rate 60-80%, • 25% of survivors neurologically intact.

Sample size calculation
• Averaging the incidence of this problem to 1:19000 deliveries, the routine margin of error of 1% would not be reasonable because the confidence interval would include 0.
• A reasonable margin of error of would be 0.001%
• For a 5% type 1 error rate, you would need 1.7 million subjects in a study to evaluate the use of cell salvage in cesarean section.

Clinical use of Amniotic Fluid
• Amniotic fluid therapeutically infused into 27 peripartum women with prolonged coagulation time in doses of 5-500 ml with resolution of clotting abnormalities.
• Amniotic fluid given to 73 patients of all ages without effect.

Amniotic Fluid Innocuous in Pregnant rhesus monkey
• 9 pregnant rhesus monkey’s had amniotic fluid removed.
• 10-45 mL injected over 60 seconds.
• BP, respiratory rate, acid-base status, fibrinogen concentration, and fetal well-being unchanged following injection.

Cell free extracts of placenta result in cardiac arrest in monkeys
• Cell free placental extracts injected causing immediate cardiac arrest.
• Immediately following arrest, circulation found to contain clot.
• Effect dose related.• Resuscitated animals had little fibrinogen.

Meconium staining of Amniotic Fluid
• In a pig model, 3 ml/kg of meconium stained amniotic fluid caused severe coagulopathy and cardiorespiratory abnormalities.
• In the same model, clear amniotic fluid (meconium free) up to 10 ml/kg caused only minor effects.

• Continuous Auto Transfusion System (CATS, Fresenius). Leukocyte depletion filter was not used.
• Baby delivered by cesarean section. EBL=600 ml which was processed into 200 ml and retransfused.
• Ten minutes after starting the transfusion, the patient became dyspnoeic, hypoxic (O2 Sat = 85%) then arrested.
• Clinical Dx = amniotic fluid embolism• Pathologic Dx = “Did not reveal any other cause…”

Considerations in safely applying cell salvage in Obstetrics
• Are the biochemical contaminants adequately washed out?
• Are the cellular contaminants adequately removed?
• Are the bacterial contaminants adequately removed?
