Stored Blood Function.

Abstract

Techniques have been developed to perfuse isolated bovine eyes with whole blood at physiological rates of flow and controlled levels of pO2, pCO2, and pH for extended periods of time (up to 24 hours). This experimental eye model has been designed to study the effects of changes in blood parameters on retinal metabolism and circulation. Using fresh and stored blood alternately to perfuse the isolated eye, the investigator investigating the influence of red cell affinity for oxygen on the retinal function by recording ERG.
