title: [Peroperative blood autotransfusion in heart surgery].
abstract: A drastic reduction in homologous blood or plasma transfusion becomes necessary to prevent the risks of severe infections disease transmission. The authors studied the possibility of homologous blood save in cardiac surgery by peroperative autotransfusion. This procedure, although it diminished the average blood bank requirements, above all for an unexplained decrease in postoperative bleeding, did not obtain the good results that other authors had with the technique of 2 or 3 preoperative withdrawal, storage and postoperative reinfusion. In future our trend is to associate preoperative and intraoperative withdrawals to take advantage of both techniques.
