Introduction

The use of blood transfusion to treat acute blood loss was first reported in the early nineteenth century when Blundell14, known by some as the father of modern autologous transfusion, described the reinfusion of blood resulting from postpartum hemorrhage. Homologous, now properly called allogenic, blood transfusion began in the twentieth century22,25, after Landsteiner72 described blood groups in 1901. In 1937, Cook County Hospital in Chicago opened the first hospital blood bank in order to deal with the increasing demand for blood transfusion. The success of blood transfusion in resuscitating victims of trauma during World War II popularized transfusion for the treatment of blood loss in elective operative procedures after the war.
Blood banks and allogenic blood components have had an important impact on operative treatment and health care worldwide. Resuscitation after trauma, radical operations for the treatment of cancer, coronary artery bypass grafting, and transplantation of major organs . . . [Full Text of this Article]
