The practice of autologous blood collection and transfusion has
been steadily increasing. The concept is not new; however, its
application has been limited because of lack of interest and
willingness to make the extra effort required. Also there has been
concern about the safety of the procedure. Homologous blood
transfusion is easy and has allo wed us to salvage lives and
perform procedures which would not have been feasible without the
availability of whole blood or its components. Transfusion with
homologous blood products is safe; however, com plications can and
do occur. The transmission of AIDS by transfusion of homologous
blood products has significantly increased patient and physician
awareness of the dangers one faces. This potential complica tion
has promoted autotransfusion. It is now commonly used and reques
ted by patients and physicians. Blood for autotransfusion is
collected pre or intraoperatively by phle botomy and retrieved
intra and post operatively from sites of hemor rhage. Once
collected, the blood is either stored or returned to the patient as
whole or processed blood. To have a successful autotransfusion
program requires anticipation of its needs and coordination and
training of involved personel in the blood bank, emergency room,
operating room and post-surgical care units. Pre deposit and
processing of collected blood requires remission of donor criteria
and labeling and storage procedures."
