Autologous transfusion, collecting a patient's own blood, is the safest option to prevent infectious diseases. This study shows a significant increase in autologous blood collections, particularly from urosurgery patients.

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Blood Banking
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Homologous blood transfusions carry risks of infectious disease transmission, including Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
  • Autologous blood transfusion (ABT) offers a safer alternative by using the patient's own blood.
  • The study analyzes the implementation and growth of an autologous transfusion program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the autologous transfusion program from January 1992 to August 1996.
  • To assess the trends and characteristics of autologous blood collections during the study period.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of autologous blood collection data.
  • Data collected between January 1992 and August 1996.
  • Inclusion of total blood collections and autologous collections, donor demographics, and transfusion outcomes.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • A total of 471 pre-operative autologous collections were performed out of 27,542 total blood collections.
  • Autologous collections increased significantly from 0.44% in 1992 to 3.94% by August 1996.
  • 37.1% of autologous donors were from the urosurgery ward.
  • 171 out of 471 collected autologous units (27.5%) were transfused back to the donors.

Conclusions:

  • The autologous transfusion program demonstrated substantial growth during the study period.
  • Urosurgery patients were a significant source of autologous blood donors.
  • Autologous transfusion is a viable and increasingly utilized strategy for enhancing blood transfusion safety.
