    A pre-deposited autologous blood program for elective surgery enhances transfusion safety by reducing the need for homologous blood. This approach successfully operated on over 50% of patients using only their own blood, minimizing risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Surgical Safety

    Context:

    • Hospitals aim to minimize transfusion risks like infectious disease transmission and alloimmunization.
    • Elective surgery patients are candidates for autologous blood programs.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a pre-deposited autologous blood program for elective surgery.
    • To assess the impact of autologous blood donation on homologous blood usage and transfusion safety.

    Summary:

    • 51 patients donated 111 units of packed red cells and 111 units of fresh plasma over 8 months.
    • 53% of patients were transfused solely with autologous blood; 2 vasovagal reactions and 4 withdrawals (hematocrit <34%) occurred.
    • Donated autologous blood not used by the patients was transfused to others, with 10% of packed red cells and 24% of plasma utilized.

    Impact:

    • The program enabled over 50% of elective surgery patients to be operated on using only autologous blood.
    • This initiative significantly reduced the demand for homologous blood, enhancing transfusion safety.
    • Pre-deposited autologous blood is a valuable tool for improving blood safety and managing blood supply.
