PERFUSION SOLUTIONS
ADVANCED AUTOTRANSFUSION
(ATS)
INSTRUCTOR:
Ed Overdevest, CCP
LOCATION:
Catharina Hospital - Eindhoven, The Netherlands
PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
The main goal of this training program is to
offer participants advanced education on
autotransfusion. Specific emphasis is placed on
how to maintain the highest standards in blood
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
This course is specifically designed for
perfusionists, anesthesiologists and clinical
personnel interested in autotransfusion and blood management techniques.
COURSE DURATION:
This is a day and a half training program starting mid-day on the first day of training.
PATIENT BENEFIT:
REDUCTION IN TRANSFUSION OF HOMOLOGOUS BLOOD PRODUCTS
Advanced ATS training and technology can reduce homologous blood transfusion. Acting on
retransfusion of washed red blood cells minimizes the impact of hemodilution by improving
HCT while implementing Goal-Directed Perfusion. Using phosphorylcholine coating with
concurrent shed blood separation further reduces alteration of red blood cells and coagulation
disturbances in routine CPB procedures. This reduces the need for homologous transfusions
which decreases the incidence of associated complications that results in improved outcomes.
