Question 12 0/1 pts A patient with a hemothorax and hemoglobin of 8 mg/dL is to have an autotransfusion of chest tube drainage. Which of the following would be a contraindication? You Answered A low hemoglobin level. Correct Answer An autotransfusion system (ATS) bag used for collection of chest tube drainage. Collected blood in the chest drain for 8 hours. Chest tube drainage collecting at a rate of 100 mL/hr. Collected blood never remains in the chest drain or ATS blood bag for more than 6 hours before autotransfusion. A low hemoglobin level is an indication for need of a blood transfusion or autotransfusion of chest tube drainage. Blood loss of 50 to 100 mL/hr through a chest tube indicates active bleeding and is an indication for reinfusion of chest tube drainage. An ATS bag should be used for collection of chest tube drainage because it contains a filter to remove extraneous materials and microemboli.
