[Intra-operative autotransfusion]. / Autotransfuzia intraoperatorie.

ABSTRACT

Following a short history of auto-transfusion performed during surgery the authors review, in connection with a case, the indications, contraindications and the advantages of the procedure. By making a comparison with the common type of transfusion they conclude that this method is worthy of application when severe loss of blood occurs during surgery and in the gynecological cases.
