Survey of Anesthesiology, 1969
AS an essential therapeutic agent in modern medical practice, human blood is clearly a valuable and limited natural resource. The total use of blood grows annually, as does the difficulty of procuring it in amounts sufficient to meet expanding needs.

Cryopreservation of Red Blood Cells
2018Glycerol and trehalose are widely used protective agents in the cryopreservation of red blood cells (RBCs). This chapter presents a protocol for use of these agents as cryoprotectants of RBCs, with post-thaw assessment of cell survival and cellular oxidative-reductive status. The main aim is to provide a framework for further studies aimed at improving

Transfusion, 1973
A method used to increase the utilization of packed red blood cells and components is described. This required the staff of the blood center to visit hospital staff meetings and explain the use of platelet concentrates, cryoprecipitates, fresh frozen plasma, leukocyte‐poor blood, and packed red blood cells.

The Quality of Red Blood Cells
Immunological Investigations, 1995The evolving practice of medicine has required a number of changes in red cell product manufacture to ensure that the final product is more specifically tailored to the needs of the individual patient. As a result of the increasing concern over the risks of transfusion pharmaceutical standards of manufacture are now applied to blood component ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1970
To the Editor.— It is difficult for me to lend allegiance to the conclusions presented by the AMA Committee on Transfusion and Transplantation in the editorial published inThe Journal( 212 :147, 1970). Specifically, transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) rather than whole blood would certainly provide additional safety in the case of a patient who has ...

Red blood cell deformability and protein adsorption on red blood cell surface
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1984Effects of protein and NaCl concentrations in plasma on red blood cell (RBC) deformability were studied using fresh human blood and a 5-microns Nuclepore filtration test. The protein and salt concentrations were varied by diluting the plasma with saline and adding crystalline NaCl to the fluids, respectively.

Cryopreserved red blood cells are superior to standard liquid red blood cells
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2014Liquid preserved packed red blood cell (LPRBC) transfusions are used to treat anemia and increase end-organ perfusion. Throughout their storage duration, LPRBCs undergo biochemical and structural changes collectively known as the storage lesion. These changes adversely affect perfusion and oxygen off-loading.

Red Blood Cell Function and Blood Storage
Vox Sanguinis, 2000AbstractRed blood cells are ideal vehicles for delivering oxygen to tissues, but their functions deteriorate during liquid preservation. In this article, we review the role of red blood cells in oxygen delivery and methods to evaluate the effectiveness of red blood cell transfusion. Quantitative estimation of transfusion effects could avoid unnecessary

The life of the red blood cell
The Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1950It may well be that the main value of these studies will be to focus interest on the remarkable properties of the red cell and to stimulate yet more work on its ultramicroscopic structure and biochemical properties. As more immediate gains, they have given us improved methods of blood storage, better diagnosis of the haemolytic anaemias and more ...
