Summary

ALTHOUGH AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED INCREASINGLY THESE DAYS IN JAPAN, THE PERFORMANCE IS STILL LIMITED TO LARGE HOSPITALS. THE STORAGE AND SUPPLY OF AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD HAS ONLY BEEN DONE FOR A SMALL GROUP OF PATIENTS WHOSE BLOOD TYPES WERE RARE. THE AUTHORS HAVE STARTED AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM OF FROZEN AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD TRANSF THEY SELECTED PATIENTS WHO WOULD REQUIRE MORE THAN 800 MILLILITERS OF BLOOD DURING SURGERY: THEY COLLECTED THEIR BLOOD SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THE OPERATION. THESE BLOOD UNITS WERE FROZEN AND STORED. LATER, WHEN THESE SAME PATIENTS REQUIRED THEIR BLOOD FOR SURGICAL OPERATION, THE BLOOD WAS THEN THAWED AND DELIVERED TO THE HOSPITAL.
