Caution should be used when considering the use of Cell Saver in OB/GYN. Amniotic Fluid Embolism remains a real threat to the life of the mother. Some facilities do not have a protocal for using cell saver with their OB cases. A special filter needs to be used and not all facilites are equipped to handle this type of request.
