OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the practicability of autologous blood donation and transfusion in the practice of obstetrics and gynaecology in our environment. METHOD: A prospective study of 1221 obstetric and gynaecological patients to which autologous blood donation and transfusion was carried out at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri over an 8 year period (January, 1998 to December, 2005). RESULTS: During the study period, there were 15,267 blood transfusions in the UMTH out of which 5,711 were for Obstetric and Gynaecological patients given a transfusion rate of 47.7% in the unit. Out of the 5711 transfusion in the obstetrics and gynaecology, 1221 were by autologous means; a rate of 21.4%. Of the 3010 transfusion in obstetrics 625 (20.7%) were of autologous blood and of the 2711 transfusion in gynaecological patients 596 (22.1%) were of autologous blood. Preoperative blood donation was done in 598 (95.8%) of the obstetrics autologous blood donation out of which, 40 (6.4%) predeposited 2 units. Five hundred and sixty (94.1%) gynaecological patients had preoperative blood donation out of which, 46 (7.7%) predeposited 2 units. Induction of labour constitutes the major indication 337 (53.9%) for the autologous blood donation in obstetric while the major indication in gynaecology patients was myomectomy (25.7%).The main complications encountered were dizziness, and fainting attack that necessitated re-infusion in one patient. CONCLUSION: Autologous blood donation and transfusion procedure is feasible in the setting of obstetrics and gynaecology and it does not require high technical procedure. |
