Abstract

Safety in all sphere of life and in every field of working is prime concern for individuals. Thus, safety in surgery and safety in blood transfusion during pre-operative, intra-operative and in post-operative period is mandatory. We can pre-deposit our own blood before planed surgery is scheduled, called as pre-operative autologous blood donation (PABD), but it may not be possible for emergency surgery so we may have to go for allogenic blood transfusion in case of blood needed for life saving purpose. People are now much aware on transfusion reactions; some time fatal consequences have been noticed in blood transfusion. Transfusions of allogenic blood caries more risk than the autologous blood. Many of clinicians recommend autologous blood, so PABD will be wise step before individual person plans for planned surgery. A fear of transmission of transmissible infection such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Malaria, syphilis, tuberculosis and many others, are possible in allogenic blood transfusion, which is not with PABD.
