The extensive application of IOBS has permitted a great reduction in the use of homoglous transfusion which presently represents the largest field of application of autologous systems. In cardiac and vascular surgery, IOBS is particularly useful to the goal of preventing the transmission of viral disorders and other adverse effects related to homologous transfusions. The apparatuses for IOBS may also be used to perform hemodilution and sequestration of a desired amount of platelet rich plasma. The appropriate usage of drugs in perioperative period and the promotion of hemostasis with IOBS are important costituents for the correct transfusional management of the patient. The feasibility and safety of IOBS is known and in expert hands it is an optimal method for the transfusional treatment of surgical patients
