No blood is better compatible than your own and is therefore always the best option in cases where your own blood can be used in surgery. In addition to autologous blood donation, where you donate your own blood before a planned surgery, there are other options.
Autotransfusion is a medical process in which a person’s own blood is collected, processed, and then re-infused back into their body during a surgery. This is an option for donor blood transfusions and is used for surgical procedures that result in significant blood loss – if you ask for it. Autotransfusion eliminates the risk of mRNA contamination, disease transmission,ย and allergic reactions associated with donated blood and ensures that a patient receives perfectly matched blood, as their own blood contains the necessary antigens and antibodies required for a successful transfusion. Autotransfusion is referred to as IOS/ICS (cell salvage or cell saver, or MAT (machine autotransfusion) or ADR (autologous direct retransfusion).
The procedure can be performed using two types of devices: cell savers and blood salvage systems. Cell savers are attached to the patient’s body during surgery and collect the patient’s blood as it is lost, whereas blood salvage systems are stand-alone devices that collect the blood outside of the body. Both devices work by filtering and washing the collected blood, removing any debris and contaminants, and then re-infusing the blood back into the patient’s body.
Autotransfusion is a useful alternative to donated blood transfusions in many surgical procedures. By reducing the risk of disease transmission and mRNA contamination and ensuring that the patient receives perfectly matched blood, autotransfusion can improve the outcome of surgical procedures and lower the overall cost of healthcare. If your physician or surgeon tells you that you may need a transfusion during a surgical procedure, you should first ask to donate your own blood or use the cell saver. Unfortunately, autotransfusion is not performed as a standard procedure in most hospitals, primarily because the safe and effective performance of ICS requires an operating room environment with trained and dedicated surgical, anesthesia, and nursing staff; it is more labor intensive than the donor transfusion alternative. Increased care is required to ensure safe and efficient blood collection. Financial investments in training, machines, and disposables are required. In other words, the clinic simply makes more money when it uses blood units. Therefore, to ensure that you receive an autotransfusion and minimize the risk of a foreign blood transfusion, you must specifically ask for it. Talk to your surgeon before deciding where you want to have surgery.
A list of clinics that offer autotransfusion according to our research can be found here by selecting the option “We offer surgical techniques such as autotransfusion …” under “Free choice of blood donor”. If you know of clinics that offer autotransfusion and are not on our list, please write to us.

I am in Australia, NSW I have to have bilateral hip replacement, do you know of any safe hospitals please?
no safe hospitals in australia yet. but for a hip replacement insist on this: https://safeblood.net/en/ufaq/what-is-autotransfusion/
Thanks for the intel on this very important subject matter, I am on a hip replacement surgery wait list, I havenโt not mentioned it to the surgeon at my consult, I am in Nova Scotia Canada where even Life saving transplants have been denied to the unvaccinated and as a result people have died, I have no faith in this country no more, the doctor didnโt mention anything about vaccination requirements or options for possible transfusion if required, I will not proceed if I am too be vaccinated or not given my own blood. Thanks
Yes, Canada is tough, I know. However, even in Canada they do perform autotransfusion. However, they will not tell you unless you ask for it. Talk to the hospital and make sure you only do the surgery in their place if they perform autotransfusion – and if no, choose another one. Hip replacement with autotransfusion is very very likely to go smooth without risking a “red cross blood pack”.
I am Rh0neg and have donated 125 pints throughout my life. May be going for double knee replacement soon as a result of lifelong sport. Alberta does not allow storing of one’s blood according to the specialist. I am NOT vacinnated and do not want infected blood in case I may need during surgery. Could you please advise? More then willing to donate my blood. Thank you
Ask for autotransfusion, and you most likely will not need a transfusion with foreign blood at all. If your hospital does not do it, look for another one.
Hi I live in New Zealandn& have not had the Bio-Weapon, thebJab for c29.
I required a hip replacement inn 2020 but decided to wait because of the lock downs. Then hospitals refused to do surgery without the shot. I also became concerned about the donated blood with The mRNA Gene MODIFYING Therapy, so waited.
It’s now been 4 years I still have not had my surgery because I do not want to be injected with this poison & also I have a very rare Blood Group & do not want vaxed blood.
You ones are actually a life saver, so Thank-you
Georgie
How did you get on? We are in NZ and need a hip op and want to use our own blood

Hi
I am now staying in Malaysia and waiting for a hip replacement op.
Do you know of any hospitals in Malaysia that carry out the autotransfusion system?
Thanks
John
yes, john. thanks to your help we now have a friendly medical facility in malaysia on our list: https://safeblood.my/en/medicial-partner-search/
please, everybody, whenever you find a hospital which allows the free choice of blood donot (a directed donation), let us know, so we can add them to our online database. thank you.
