Swab Washing
Remember our recommendation to use swab washing in
theatre it will dramatically increase the volume of blood
available in cell salvage. Heres the steps presented by the
Sheffield team at our October meeting:
1. Set up a sterile bowl with 1000ml sterile IV grade 0.9%
saline.
2. Soak blood soiled swabs for a few minutes in the saline to
extract red cells.
3. Gently compress the swabs to express any residual
solution before discarding (dont wring!).
4. At the end of the procedure, aspirate the swab wash
solution into the cell salvage reservoir using the suction line.
5. The swab wash should not be left for more than 6 hours
without processing.
