| Popis: | Autologous transfusion is playing an important role in modern transfusion medicine. At San Martino hospital we use a combination of manual and mechanical techniques in order to improve autotransfusion procedures, control the hypertransfusion and avoid waste. Our autotransfusion program has determined a 55% reduction in the red cell concentrates used (from 42,000 in 1985 down to 19,400 in 1992). Proper training, cultural improvements and new applications on autotransfusion procedures will permit a better use of blood with less transfusion related complications, until a suitable substitute for blood will be available. |
