An observational study comparing two systems of perioperative blood recovery in cardiac surgery, one system allowing red blood cell reinfusion and one system allowing red blood cell and platelet reinfusion. The objective is to evaluate whether platelet recovery provides better quality of hemostasis during and after surgery, improving transfusion savings, and whether it reduces postoperative complications and the length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital.
