Autologous blood donation.
Autologous blood donation. Anesthesiology clinics of North America Goodnough, L. T. 2005; 23 (2): 263-?Abstract

Subsequent improvements in blood safety and evolving surgical techniques resulting in less blood loss have caused a national decline in preoperative autologous blood donation by approximately 50%. Nevertheless, the continuing emergence of new pathogens and the potential for severe blood inventory shortages continue to give preoperative autologous blood donation an important role in blood conservation strategies.
