About

Karlien Degezelle is a clinical researcher whose work centers on perioperative medicine, transfusion safety, and the physiological risks associated with autologous blood salvage techniques. Her most cited paper, "Severe Hypotension After Reinfusion of Autologous Blood Processed With a Cell Saver and Anticoagulated With Acid-Citrate-Dextrose Solution A" (2023), documents a critical adverse event linked to a widely used anticoagulant in cell salvage systems. This case report, though early in its citation life, has already drawn attention from anesthesiologists and transfusion specialists for its practical implications in surgical settings. Degezelle’s contribution highlights a previously underappreciated complication, prompting renewed scrutiny of anticoagulant protocols during intraoperative blood recovery. Her work underscores the importance of vigilance in autotransfusion procedures and has implications for patient safety guidelines. As an emerging voice in anesthesiology and critical care, Degezelle continues to investigate the intersection of blood conservation strategies and hemodynamic stability, aiming to refine clinical practices that protect vulnerable patients during major surgeries.
