  • Title: [Is preservation of erythrocyte concentrates with added solutions an alternative to deep freezing in heart surgery autologous blood donation?].
    Author: Behr W, Doukas K, Lang H, Plahl M, Struck E.
    Journal: Beitr Infusionsther; 1990; 26():252-6. PubMed ID: 1703843.
    Abstract:
    In patients undergoing cardiovascular operations the deep freezing of autologous red blood cells (RBC) was compared with the liquid storage in PAGGS-Sorbitol. On an average 3.9 units of blood were predeposited in the group with deep freezing and 3.4 in the group with liquid storage. The number of complications was the same in both groups despite the shorter intervals between the donations in the group with liquid storage. 58 out of 74 patients (= 78%) with deep frozen autologous RBC and 42 out of 65 patients (= 65%) with liquid stored RBC need no homologous blood. 12% of the liquid stored RBC were discared due to unforseen delaying of the operation.
