Addressing the question of the effect of RBC storage on clinical outcomes: The Red Cell Storage Duration Study (RECESS) (Section 7)

Abstract: The question of whether storage of red blood cells (RBCs) alters their capacity to deliver oxygen and affects patient outcomes remains in a state of clinical equipoise. Studies of the changes which occur while RBC are stored have led to several physiologically plausible hypotheses that these changes impair RBC function when the units are transfused. Although there is some evidence of this effect in vivo from animal model experiments, the results of several largely retrospective patient studies have not been co… Show more

“…This is especially true for certain categories of recipients, such as traumatized, post-operative and critically ill patients. 1 Despite accumulating retrospective evidence of reduced blood viability after the first 2 weeks of storage, 2 definitive results from prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trials are still lacking 3,4 or inconclusive. These problems are mainly due to the intrinsic statistical limitations of the experimental models 4 or the lack of common methods and shared standards between laboratories.…”

“…Their results will demonstrate whether long RBC storage time is harmful. [4] FWB is more concentrated than blood products prepared with a 1:1:1 ratio of RBCs, frozen plasma, and platelets, and is the only functional alternative that includes all fractions. Nessen et al [5] evaluated the therapeutic role of additional FWB treatment in patients who required platelet replacement after having received RBCs and FFP.…”
