Why the study?
Does RBC membrane mechanical fragility better predict post-transfusion red cell survival compared to product age?
Does RBC membrane mechanical fragility better predict post-transfusion red cell survival compared to product age?
RBC membrane mechanical fragility is proposed as a potentially superior metric to storage time for assessing RBC quality prior to transfusion.
