title: [Blood loss and the need for homologous blood transfusion in elective general surgery as a basis for indications for preoperative autologous blood donation].
abstract: The records of 279 surgical patients of 1986 were retrospectively evaluated for blood loss and blood-transfusion in order to provide a basis for an autologous blood donation program. 90% of the large bowel resections, gastrectomy and peripheral artery interventions with a blood loss between 0.5 and 1.51 could have been performed with the sole use of autologous blood. 50% of the operations of the abdominal aorta and all operations of the oesophagus would have required the additional use of other autotransfusion techniques or homologous blood transfusions.
