Autologous blood collections may not be available at the hospital in which your surgery will be performed. Ask your doctor about the availability of these procedures, and if autologous donation is appropriate for you. Blood banks can draw your blood and store it for your use. This process usually is performed for a planned surgery. Blood can be stored for only a limited period of time, so coordinating the donations with the date of surgery is an important consideration.
