Autologous Blood Collection and Transfusion

Autologous blood collection and transfusion is a process where an individual donates their own blood for future use, rather than relying on other donors. This is often done before surgery or medical treatments where a transfusion might be needed. The collected blood is stored and then transfused back to the same person if necessary. This approach reduces the risk of complications, such as transfusion reactions or infections, as the blood is matched to the donor's own body. It is a safe and effective way to ensure the patient has the best possible match for their transfusion needs.
