We conducted a critical review of the use of autologous transfusions in elective hip surgery at Fukuoka University School of Medicine. There were 37 cases who deposited blood before operation on an outpatient basis. Four-hundred milliliters of blood were collected at each donation and the amount of autologous blood donated was two or three units in all cases. Four patients had some difficulty donating autologous blood preoperatively. Although these patients actually fainted and needed medical attention, none of the symptoms were serious. Seven patients developed gastritis because of ferrous citrate administered orally and recovered uneventfully. Autologous blood transfusion eliminated the risks of blood-transmissible infections and avoids sensitization to redblood-cell, white-blood-cell, and platelet antigens in donor blood. It is generally considered to be the safest type of transfusion and can be done safely on an outpatient-basis.
