Patient’s clinical case, who was blood transfused in an outpatient environment. A narrative bibliographical review has been done about outpatient hospital care and a blood transfusion done in a hospital and outpatient blood transfusion. The clinical case has been explained including the patient’s medical history, the treatment that has been chosen and clinical progress.

According to the experience, it is possible to affirm that blood transfusions can be done in an outpatient environment with the support of a multidisciplinary team, following protocols and basing the transfusion on the patient’s safety.

The positive clinical progress evidenced how important it is to be in a good environment.

The outpatient care improved the physical and mental health, provided a quality doctors and nurses care and reduced the cost to a health system that is already overcharged.

To be highlighted, the outpatient care helped the chronic patients to develop a better autonomy due to the fact that they are in an environment where they are in charge.
