Acute hemorrhage and blood loss are frequently encountered problems in veterinary emergency and critical care. In addition to conservative therapy, autologous blood transfusion can be employed as useful supplement. There are several advantages; autologous blood is immediately accessible, does not evoke transfusion reactions or immunosuppression and carries no risk of transmission of disease. A variety of methods and techniques exist and are further described in this review. Autologous blood transfusions can be carried out as emergency treatment using direct aspiration and reinfusion, vacuum bottle system collection or centrifuge-based cell salvage. Pre-operative blood collection and storage, acute normovolemic hemodilution and intra- and post-operative salvage are other applications. Possible adverse effects after the transfusion of autologous blood are coagulopathy, embolism, sepsis or dissemination of malignant cells.
