Autotransfusion’s
Advantages
 Autotransfusion is the safest form of transfusion a
patient can receive.
 Eliminates risks of infectious disease transmission:
 No risk of Hepatitis
 No risk of AIDS
 Reduces or eliminates reliance on banked blood,
which:
 Needs to be preordered.
 Is more costly than autotransfusion.
 Should be used on every case in which a patient
loses 20% or more total blood volume.
 Blood loss as little as 100cc can be processed for
return to the patient.
 Used in both intraoperative, and postoperative
settings.
 Immediately available in emergency situations—it’s
autologous!
 Approved for use with Jehovah Witness patients.
 Extracorporeal circuit can remain closed.
 All steps of blood processing take place
simultaneously, creating the uninterrupted
flow.
 Once “washed” of contaminants, red blood
cells can be retransfused from circuit to
patient, using one continuous line.
