Ideally, autotransfusion after cardiac surgical procedures should offer the protection of underwater-seal drainage and involve additional cost to the patients only if their blood is reinfused. A technique of returning the patient's postoperatively drained blood that employs these features and that we have found to be safe, simple, and cost-effective is presented.
