Question

Amir Yazdani is being assessed in the orthopaedic preadmission clinic 6 weeks prior to a knee arthroplasty. He asks to donate some of his own blood to ensure he doesn't receive a transfusion from a stranger. How would you respond to Amir's request?

Explain to Amir that there is no chance he will require a blood transfusion, so predeposit autologous donation is not indicated in his specific situation

Explain to Amir that predeposit autologous donation is only recommended for patients that are likely to refuse a transfusion and discuss if he would be willing to accept donated blood

Explain to Amir why predeposit autologous donation is not recommended, including that it may increase the chance of him requiring a transfusion, and that it does not reduce all the risks associated with transfusion

Predeposit autologous donation is an excellent strategy to reduce the risks associated with transfusion. Provide Amir with a referral to enable him to have his blood collected one month prior to surgery
