We maintain an auto donation program for a group of our orthopods that advocate this practice. We currently have 8 units on the shelf right now that represent 6 patients for next week cases. We also accept auto and directed units into our inventory from the blood center. Our medical director is intimately involved with each of the onsite auto donors donation. However, most of the auto units will be discarded and most directed units will be placed into general inventory. We are about 120 beds with a large orthopaedic practice (mostly hips, knees, ankles).
