Extract

In 1967 when Tullis opened a discussion on ‘Methods and standards of blood transfusion’ he said that the discovery of citrate, which made it possible to store blood for a few days before transfusion, was perhaps the worst step that ever took place, because it made it possible for clinicians to abuse blood. Now they could collect it in a bottle, put it in a refrigerator for a few days and fully inactivate many labile components such as platelets, anti-haemophilic globulin, leucocytes and lipoproteins [1].

When blood is stored prior to transfusion there is a deterioration in the viability of the red cell in addition to other components. This has been assessed mainly on the post-transfusion survival, but in recent years more interest has been shown in the oxygen-carrying capacity.
