Red blood cell transfusion strategies
Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2001Although the hemoglobin level of 100 g/L has been used for many years as the allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion trigger, current evidence indicates that for most patients a more restrictive transfusion strategy is at least as effective as and possibly superior to a liberal transfusion strategy.

The red blood cell, or erythrocyte, possesses a most unusual cell shape. The discoid form, together with a distinctive red colouration, makes it one of the most easily recognised cell types in the body. It is also probably the most studied cell.

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

Red Blood Cell Transfusion Therapy
Medical Clinics of North America, 1984This article describes the characteristics of alloantibodies associated with accelerated in vivo red cell destruction, pretransfusion tests performed to detect these antibodies, and the resolution of the incompatible crossmatch. Current transfusion practices, the indications for, and the complications of red cell transfusions are discussed.

Probing Red Blood Cell Dynamics
ASME 2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference, Parts A and B, 2012Because of the high volume contents of red blood cells (RBCs) in blood, mechanics of a single RBC plays a large role in the rheological description of blood. Moreover, RBC dynamics drive plasma mixing and lateral transport of its components, which are both involved in blood coagulation.

Red blood cells, erythrocytes, are unique in that they do not contain a nucleus. This fact facilitates the study of their metabolism. Erythrocytes contain the protein pigment haemoglobin, which is in solution in the cells and consists of globin chains and iron. In this chapter, the development of the understanding of erythrocytes is linked to the blood

The lipid in the mature erythrocyte of mammalian animals is solely contained in the plasma membrane. Lipids account for nearly 50% of the mass of the membrane while proteins are also present in a similar amount. Only very small quantities of sugars in the form of glycoproteins and glycolipids are present although these more hydrophilic moieties may be ...

Neonatal red blood cell transfusions
Vox Sanguinis, 2002Red blood cell and blood product transfusion in the fetus, neonate, and premature infant are often administered with poorly defined indications and unintentional adverse consequences. Products may be altered in an effort to limit potential adverse events or may be specially selected to meet the unique needs of a specific diagnosis.
