WRAIR GOCO Blood Research Detachment's Red Blood Cell Storage Laboratory.
Abstract
The Bionetics Corporation staffed and maintained a laboratory to support red blood cell preservation research at the Blood Research Detachment, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 1413 Research Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850. Contract staff completed a clinical trial evaluating the effect of warming packed re blood cell units for 24 hours at 250 C both early and late in storage. Based on results of 24 hour posttransfusion survival of autologous red cells in normal volunteers and ATP concentration in stored blood, it is estimated that 24-hour period of warmed storage accelerates the deterioration of blood equivalent to 12 days of refrigerated storage in additive solution AS-5.
