In this severe model, survival was equivalent with HBOC-201 and HEX resuscitation. HBOC-201 or HEX allowed delayed hospital arrival to 24 hours without worsening coagulation parameters, but dilutional mild coagulopathy in the hospital phase persisted with HBOC-201 due to blood transfusion avoidance. Low hematocrit suggests that blood administration after HBOC-201 resuscitation could be beneficial to replete blood cellular mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
