Routinely, 450 mL of blood is collected into 63 mL of CPDA-1, for a final anticoagulant:blood ratio of approximately 1:7 in a whole-blood autologous unit. If less than 300 mL of blood is to be collected, the AABB standards suggest that there should be a proportionate decrease in anticoagulant. Data from an autologous blood program showed a range in volume from 92 mL to 667 mL per bag, which reflects an anticoagulant:blood ratio of 2:1 to 1:10.
