Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Patient Blood Management

Background:

  • Allogeneic blood transfusions carry risks of disease transmission, such as AIDS.
  • Autologous transfusion, using the patient's own blood, emerged as a safer alternative.
  • The procedure has evolved significantly since its initial trial in 1874.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight autologous transfusion as a safe and viable alternative to allogeneic transfusions.
  • To discuss the increasing popularity and applications of autologous transfusion.
  • To emphasize the importance of protocols in autologous blood donation.

Main Methods:

  • Autologous transfusion involves collecting and storing a patient's own blood for later use.
  • Key methods include preoperative donation, isovolemic hemodilution, and blood salvage.

  • Collection of 1 to 5 units per donor is feasible.

    • Main Results:

    • Autologous transfusion effectively prevents complications associated with allogeneic transfusions.
    • It is particularly beneficial for patients with rare blood types or difficult-to-match compatibility.
    • Preoperative autologous donations have seen a tenfold increase in many centers.

    Conclusions:

    • Autologous transfusion is a safe, effective, and increasingly popular procedure.
    • Strict protocols for selection, storage, and labeling are crucial for its success.
    • The method is suitable for various age groups, including pediatric patients.
