Further Studies Into the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Post-Traumatic Pulmonary Insufficiency with Special Reference to the Role of Banked Blood.

Abstract

Studies have focused on two primary areas: (1) microaggregate formation, (2) animal studies on post injury pulmonary insufficiency. Studies on microaggregate formation have: ((1) Established a new and more accurate method for microaggregate counting with an electron particle counter. (2) Established a method for stabilizing in reversible microaggregates such as those occurring in vivo in shock. (3) Completed comparison of Bentley, Pall and Fenwal blood filters. (4) Shown that infused stored patelets have a half-life of about 12 hours in baboons. (5) Began in vivo studies on microaggregate formation.
