Popis: The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency and cost of cell salvage systems with allogeneic blood transfusions in patients who had major elective orthopedic surgeries. Consecutive 108 patients who had intraoperative cell saver (CS) performed routinely constitute the study group. In control group, consecutive 112 patients who were operated without intraoperative CS were investigated. Hemoglobin (Hb) level less than 8 mg/dL was regarded as the absolute transfusion indication. The patients were evaluated for age, gender, body mass index, operation period, mean intraoperative estimated blood loss (EBL), postoperative hemovac drainage volume; preoperative, postoperative first day and discharge Hb levels, allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) volume, hospitalization and cost parameters. The mean intraoperative EBL was 507 mL in the study group and 576 mL in control group. The mean ABT was 300 mL in the study group and 715 mL in control group. In the study group, intraoperative EBL, ABT usage and hospitalization period were significantly lower compared with the control group (p = 0.009, p = 0.000 and p = 0.000; p
