Abstract[Abstract] We experienced five cases of ABO-compatible, ABO non-identical red blood cell transfusion during emergency surgery in our hospital between April 2010 and September 2011. Although nadir hemoglobin levels were below the safety margin, prompt O-type red blood cell transfusion could save two B-type female patients. However another three patients, whose massive bleeding occurred during neurosurgery, could not be saved postoperatively.
