  • Plasma hemoglobin and bilirubin concentrations were higher after transfusion of 40-day than after 3-day stored packed erythrocytes (P = 0.02, [95% CI difference 10-114 mg/l] and 0.001, [95% CI difference 0.6-1.5 mg/dl], respectively). (unimib.it)
  • Plasma concentrations of potassium, lactate dehydrogenase, haptoglobin, and cytokines, as well as blood pressure, did not differ between the two transfusions and remained within the normal range. (unimib.it)
  • People who have hemophilia , a disease that affects the blood's ability to clot, need plasma or the clotting factors contained in plasma to help their blood clot and prevent bleeding. (kidshealth.org)
  • [ 1 ] Massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) should be institutionally monitored by a blood utilization committee that can track initiation, cessation, component wastage, storage of blood products outside of the blood bank, transport standards, and compliance with applicable Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards.

  • The remaining 6 papers examined the use of autologous blood for traumatic haemothorax, paediatrics and burns. (biomedcentral.com)
  • There is evidence that certain injury patterns yield higher volumes of salvageable blood, that transfusion of autologous blood reduces the requirement of allogeneic blood and that autologous blood may be the only source of transfused blood in certain environments. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We hypothesized that the nitric oxide mediated hyperemic response after ischemia would be reduced after transfusion of packed erythrocytes stored for 40 days. (unimib.it)
  • Each volunteer received one unit of 40-day and one of 3-day stored autologous leukoreduced packed erythrocytes, on different study days according to a randomization scheme. (unimib.it)
  • The reactive hyperemia index during the first 4 h after transfusion of 40-day compared with 3-day stored packed erythrocytes was unchanged. (unimib.it)
  • Whole blood may be deficient in clotting factors V and VIII, unless it is fresh, because these clotting factors degrade rapidly during refrigerated storage. (medicinenet.com)
