There were 22 patients with cerebral palsy aged six to 17 years who underwent an acetabuloplasty as part of an open reduction of the hip. In 11 patients a paediatric cell saver was used to collect autologous blood which was re-infused per-operatively. This group was compared to a cohort of 11 patients undergoing similar operations in whom only banked homologous blood was transfused. On average, 432 ml of autologous blood was reinfused compared to 909 ml of homologous blood (p < 0.01), representing 19.6% and 47% of the total blood volume, respectively (p < 0.002). Two units of homologous blood were transfused in the cell saver group compared with 20 units in the control group (p < 0.001). When using a paediatric cell saver, homologous blood transfusion was avoided in 82% of patients and there were no complications.
