A successful autologous blood program should enrol all appropriate patients, conserve homologous blood and minimize the exposure to the risks of donor blood. A program of autotransfusion and proper use of blood has been implemented since 1980 with the objectives of including all eligible patients and to transfuse autologous blood only. The following strategies were adopted: critical review of transfusion indications; control of over-transfusion; avoidance of waste; systematic and integrated use of all autotransfusion techniques currently available. Results in 1992 in elective surgery: 98% enrolment, 75% blood conservation. Exposure to homologous blood was completely avoided in 53% of the cases.

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.
