Abstract

Autologous blood transfusion (ABT) is the collection and reinfusion of the patient’s own blood or blood components. Autologous donation is used in preparation surgery with the idea of avoiding allogeneic blood use. Allogeneic blood, on the other hand, is collected from someone other than the patient.
