To discuss current issues of blood transfusion in surgery, we reveiwed our experiences in preoperative autologous blood collection methods, the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin on preoperative donation, the effect of intraoperative blood salvage and autologous platelet rich plasma on reducing homologous blood transfusion. A favorable clinical results of preoperative autologous blood donation with recombinant human erythropoietin and intraoperative reinfusion of autologous platelet rich plasma were reported and discussed in this papaer. In addition to these advantages, we were greatly concerned with both the reduction of blood transfusion criteria and standardization of homologous blood preparation. Further investigations for reducing blood usage, preventing blood transmitted diseases, and establishment of social and economical support are now asked seriously. |
