Abstract: Autologous blood transfusion can be achieved through different techniques, including by the patient donating blood before surgery (pre-deposit), collecting blood from the patient immediately before the operation and replacing the volume with colloids or plasma expanders (acute normovolemic hemodilution) or through the salvage of lost blood, during or immediately after surgery, and its retransfusion after washing (intraoperative or postoperative recovery)
We will focus on the two methods used intraoperatively that are of fundamental importance in the management and conservation of the patient's own blood.
