RESUMO
We experienced the anesthetic management of 10 Jehovah's Witness patients. Some patients accepted either blood products, autologous blood transfusion with closed circuit, or Cell Saver. The patients' families expressed their wish that blood transfusion could be done in life threatening situations against the patient's wish in some cases. It would be desirable to clear up an acceptable standard and write out it in each medical institution to avoid conflicts with the patient and families. Prior agreement is required among medical staffs on refusal of blood transfusion.
