Intraoperative Cell Salvage (ICS) Timeline in Wales Recruitment of an ICS Lead to the BBTT. Development of ICS polices inc. training programme BHT review of ICS practice. BHNOG approve resulting report & recommendations 2002 - 2005 2015 - 2017 2021 - future 2006 - 2015 2019 - 2020 Establishment of an ICS network to promote ICS activity and support ICS Practitioners Better Blood Transfusion Team (BBTT): ICS scoping exercise WBS start supporting ICS use in hospitals ICS Lead leaves role.

and also in 2020 and also in 2020 reduction in blood donation due to impact of COVID increasing reliance on blood conservation
Interviews guided by questions, such as Is there a strategic plan/approach to cell salvage use in your HB Do you have appointed cell salvage lead(s) Is cell salvage use discussed at departmental level Do you have any evidence of the impact of ICS use Improved patient outcomes Reduction in blood component use Report recommendations included HBs consider the strategic delivery of ICS in each hospital HBs ensure that ICS use is under the leadership of an ICS lead HTCs take an active role in supporting the appropriate use of ICS BHT explore establishment of an ICS user s network.
ICS network ICS network ICS leads and links in hospitals across Wales TPs involved this time! ICS leads ToR reporting to the BHNOG 1st meeting 21/05/21 ICS HTCs network BHNOG
ICS is a key element of PBM ICS is a key element of PBM and an easy win in blood conservation and an easy win in blood conservation Prudent Healthcare Prudent Healthcare reduce variation, used only where needed* used only where needed* (*both blood and ICS) reduce variation, (*both blood and ICS) Once for Wales Once for Wales
