Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to prospectively study the safety of salvage red blood cell (sRBC) transfusion during pancreatic surgery. Primary Objective: 1. To summarize rates and timing of septic adverse events (AE) for patients who receive sRBC or aRBC transfusions within 72 hours of peri-operative transfusion. 2. To summarize rates and timing of transfusion related AEs for patients who receive sRBC or aRBC transfusions within 72 hours of peri-operative transfusion. 3. To summarize rates and timing of AEs in the first 7 post-operative days. Secondary Objectives: 1. To summarize the number of units of aRBC transfused post operative day (POD) #0 after sRBC transfusion in the operating room. 2. To summarize the number of units of aRBC transfused POD#1-7 after sRBC transfusion the operating room, in the absence of overt post-operative hemorrhage.

Interventions

DEVICEThe Fresenius Kabi C.A.T.S®plus Continuous AutoTransfusion System

A cell salvage device will be utilized to collect all spilled blood during the course of the operative resection and vascular reconstruction.
