What blood transfusion alternatives treatment for a ruptured spleen can a Jehovah's witness have?

That is an individual decision by the patient, but generally JW patients will accept any non-blood medical treatment, including blood substitutes like saline, ringer's, or some other volume expander. There may be some types of autoglous cell salvage that the patient might deem as acceptable to their individual conscience. Some blood fractions may be acceptable to the patient, again this is according to the individual's conscience. Generally speaking, JW's do not accept whole blood or any of the four main components: red cells, white cells, platelets, or plasma.
The media section of jw.org provides three videos that discuss transfusion alternatives in great depth - the three videos differ in that they are designed for technical use, media us, and public viewing, basically the amount of technical content differs, but all three are extremely interesting.
However, if you are preparing for a major surgery, the wisest resource to contact would be your local Branch Office of Jehovah's Witnesses. Each has a department that is aware of which hospitals in your surrounding area have doctors and equipment capable of performing different types of bloodless surgery.
