AB Although first reported more than 100 years ago, autologous blood
transfusion was grossly underused until the 1980s, when the safety of
blood came into question. With the discovery of transfusion-transmitted
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), physicians and patients began to
request this form of transfusion. In this article, four modalities of
autologous transfusion are described: preoperative blood donation, acute
normovolemic hemodilution, intraoperative blood recovery, and
postoperative blood salvage. The indications and contraindications for
the use of these modalities, patient eligibility, and the blood center's
involvement in these services also are explained.
