About

Dr. Annick Vandevelde is a clinical anesthesiologist and researcher whose work focuses on perioperative safety, transfusion medicine, and the physiological impacts of autologous blood processing techniques. Her most cited study, "Severe Hypotension After Reinfusion of Autologous Blood Processed With a Cell Saver and Anticoagulated With Acid-Citrate-Dextrose Solution A" (2023), addresses a critical and underrecognized complication in intraoperative blood salvage—hypotension following reinfusion. This work contributes to refining protocols for cell saver use, particularly regarding anticoagulant selection and patient monitoring, with implications for reducing adverse events in major surgeries. While her citation count is currently modest, the paper’s clinical relevance positions it as a foundational reference for anesthesiologists and perfusionists. Dr. Vandevelde’s research underscores the importance of meticulous blood management strategies, bridging the gap between technical equipment and patient outcomes. Her dedication to advancing safety in transfusion practice marks her as a thoughtful contributor to perioperative medicine, with potential for broader impact as awareness of these complications grows.
