The National Blood Service issues 2.2 million units of blood per year, 10% of these (220000) are utilized in cardiac procedures. Transfusion reactions, infection risk and cost should stimulate us to decrease this transfusion rate. We test the efficacy of autotransfusion following surgery in a prospective randomized trial.
