End of Year Report of Navy Contract

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out if after blood had been thawed, if it could be stored for periods longer than 72 hours without excessive hemolysis. From our present work it would appear that most of the standard anticoagulants will give a significant increase in the amount of storage time and from our data it appears that the new additive solutions are no better at preserving red cells than are the older anticoagulants. This is a fact that rather surprised us and we do intend to test several other units before forming final opinions. (kt)
