Cell Saver is commonly known as (IBS) Intra-operative blood Salvage. Basically blood is collected from the operation site. Anticoagulant is added to prevent blood clotting in the equipment. The salvaged blood is collected in a reservoir and then sent to the cell salvage machine for washing. The automated cell salvage machine washes the blood and separates the waste products into the waste bag. Washed red blood cells are then pumped back to the reinfusion bag to be returned to the patient.

Amniotic Fluid (AF) is the liquid in which babies are suspended in the uterus. AF Embolism is a rare and incompletely understood obstetric emergency in which amniotic fluid, fetal cells, hair or other debris enters the mother's blood stream via the placental bed of the uterus and triggers an allergic reaction. This reaction then results in cardiorespiratory (heart and lung) collapse and coagulopathy.
