[en] Bleeding in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery is not rare. Mediastinal bleedings could potentially be saved with a cell salvage device. This practice may contribute to decreased allogeneic transfusion. This study explores the effectiveness of a chest drainage system combined with a cell salvage option during the postoperative period of cardiac surgery in patients at high risk of bleeding
