Preoperative donation of autologous blood: technique, experience, and community applications.
Preoperative donation of autologous blood (PDAB) is the technique of choice for the transfusion of autologous blood for the maxillofacial surgeon. The use of PDAB is increasing, but lack of preoperative planning and lack of available utilization protocols are obstacles to its more widespread use. A technique for PDAB, a review of our experience, and guidelines for community applications are presented.
