[Blood-saving surgery].
Trauma, blood loss and autologous blood transfusions induce a variety of changes in the reactivity of patients' immune systems. In clinical studies the differentiation of these effects is difficult. Association between autologous blood transfusion and postoperative infection is highly likely. In surgical oncology blood transfusions are associated with poor prognosis, but probably this is more because of the circumstances that necessitate them.
