Summary

Preoperative autologous blood donation is declining due to safer allogeneic blood but persists due to public perception and shortages. Its use should be based on proven safety and patient value, as it is poorly cost-effective.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Transfusion Medicine

Background:

  • Preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) is decreasing due to safer allogeneic blood transfusions.
  • Patient perception of allogeneic blood risks and blood shortages maintain PABD use.
  • PABD involves patients donating their own blood before elective surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current role and cost-effectiveness of preoperative autologous blood donation.
  • To assess the benefits and risks of PABD in elective surgery.
  • To determine if PABD provides sufficient value to justify its use.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on PABD practices and outcomes.
  • Analysis of cost-effectiveness data for PABD.
  • Evaluation of patient safety and transfusion benefits.

Main Results:

  • PABD is most beneficial for procedures with significant blood loss.
  • The procedure is generally considered poorly cost-effective.
  • Declining use is noted despite continued application.

Conclusions:

  • The use of PABD should be guided by evidence demonstrating its safety and patient benefit.
  • Cost-effectiveness remains a significant concern for PABD.
  • Balancing patient perception, blood supply, and evidence-based practice is crucial.
