Red blood cell transfusion strategies and Maximum surgical blood ordering schedule
Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2014 Blood transfusion is one of the practices that is in vogue because it expands blood volume and purportedly improves the oxygen carrying capacity. Despite this supposed physiological benefit, paradoxically, both anaemia and transfusion are independently ...

Predicting the Need for Blood Transfusion in Intensive Care Units with Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
, 2022 As critically ill patients frequently develop anemia or coagulopathy, transfusion of blood products is a frequent intervention in the Intensive Care Units (ICU). However, inappropriate transfusion decisions made by physicians are often associated with increased risk of complications and higher hospital costs.

ASSESSMENT OF FREQUENCY OF ALLOIMMUNIZATION AND ERYTHROCYTE AUTOIMMUNIZATION IN TRANSFUSION DEPENDENT THALASSEMIA PATIENTS [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2008 Life-long red blood transfusion remains the main treatment for severe thalassemia. The development of hemolytic alloantibodies and erythrocyte autoantibodies complicated transfusion therapy in thalassemia patients.

Biochemically altered human erythrocytes as a carrier for targeted delivery of primaquine: an in vitro study [PDF]
Arch. Pharm. Res. (2011) 34: 563, 2019 The aim of this study was to investigate human erythrocytes as a carrier for targeted drug delivery of primaquine (PQ). The process of PQ loading in human erythrocytes, as well as the effect of PQ loading on the oxidative status of erythrocytes, was also studied.

Determination of tissue hypoxia by physicochemical approach in premature anemia
Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2017 Anemia is a common problem in premature infants and its most rapid and effective therapy is erythrocyte transfusion. However, owing to inherent risks of transfusion in this population, transfusions should be administered only when adequate oxygen ...

Sanguine: Visual Analysis for Patient Blood Management [PDF]
, 2020 Blood transfusion is a frequently performed medical procedure in surgical and nonsurgical contexts. Although it is frequently necessary or even life-saving, it has been identified as one of the most overused procedures in hospitals. Unnecessary transfusions not only waste resources but can also be detrimental to patient outcomes.

ON THE SURVIVAL OF THE TRANSFUSED ERYTHROCYTES OF STORED BLOOD [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1941 Twenty patients have received 26 transfusions of stored blood, and the fate of the erythrocytes of the donor followed quantitatively by differential agglutination.A method of performing control agglutinations using the sera both of the ABO and MN systems is suggested.A further application of differential agglutination is outlined.

Decreased Erythrocyte Deformability After Transfusion and the Effects of Erythrocyte Storage Duration [PDF]
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2013 Erythrocyte cell membranes undergo morphologic changes during storage, but it is unclear whether these changes are reversible. We assessed erythrocyte cell membrane deformability in patients before and after transfusion to determine the effects of storage duration and whether changes in deformability are reversible after transfusion.Sixteen patients ...
