Mrs. Jones is to have hip surgery next Tuesday. She and her doctor have discussed using an auutologous blood transfusion. What does this mean for Mrs. Jones?

The medical surgery is done to remove the damaged part or to make the body parts functional again if there is any problem in the proper functioning of the body.

Mrs. Jones has an autologous blood transfusion. This means the individual's blood is used for the transmission. Mrs. Jones will receive her own blood that she has deposited before the surgery. After the surgery the same deposited blood is used in the blood transfusion.
