Studies were conducted to examine whether an experimental additive solution (EAS-2) containing, in mM: 20 NH4Cl, 30 Na2HPO4, 2 adenine, 110 dextrose, 55 mannitol, pH 7.15, would be useful to extend the storage shelf life of human RBCs. With 6 pairs of split units, ATP concentrations were better maintained for 12 weeks with EAS-2 than with Adsol (1.8 vs. 1.1 mumol/g Hb, respectively, p = 0.002). Autologous 24-hours 51Cr viability values for split units in the same donors were: on 6 paired units at 8 weeks, EAS-2 87.0 +/- 4.5%, Adsol 72.6 +/- 2.3%, p = 0.004; on 11 paired units at 9 weeks, EAS-2 79.5 +/- 7.1%, Adsol 68.2 +/- 10.1%, p = 0.0003. The data suggest that packed RBCs stored for 9 weeks with EAS-2 will be suitable for transfusion following the removal of supernatant with a single washing step.
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.
