UTOLOGOUS
BLOOD
TRANSFUSION
The term, autologous blood, refers to blood derived from the same individual. An
autologous blood transfusion therefore, is one in which a patient receives his or
her own blood. The blood may have been donated earlier or salvaged from shed
blood during surgery or postoperatively. Allogeneic blood, on the other hand, is
donor blood from sources other than the patient who is receiving it.
