Cell salvage is increasingly used in the management of major obstetric haemorrhage. Its financial considerations were evaluated over a 5-year period. ⋯ The routine use of cell salvage was associated with more salvaged blood being returned to patients, which offset the cost of collection sets when compared to the cost of using allogeneic blood. Cell salvage is an appropriate expenditure to reduce the use of allogeneic blood.
