Many factors already contribute to limit the amount of bank blood available for therapeutic use; a possible reduction in the amount of available blood could stem from the relative indifference of young people towards the gift of blood and the increase in the size of the pool of positive carriers of Australian antigen.

Moreover, new operations appear (coronary by-pass) which increase the demand for blood.

It is imperative that we adopt attitudes and practice techniques that will contribute to the conservation of blood.

This paper discusses the advantages of an active blood bank committee which, alone, can reduce the consumption of blood by 20 per cent.

Moreover, actual techniques for conservation of blood are reviewed: controlled hypotension, haemodilution and intraoperative blood salvage.
