Red Blood Cell Storage Lesions: Ongoing Studies in Selected Patient Populations
Chris Silliman, MD, PhD, Senior Independent Investigator, Bonfils Blood Center
The Clinical Manifestations Attributed to the Transfusion of Stored Red Blood Cells
Description
Loss of viability and function associated with certain biochemical changes, or storage lesion, is observed in vitro when blood components are stored. Storage lesion in both platelet and red cell components have implications for the patient to whom these components are transfused. In this audioconference, recent strides in discovering the effect of storage lesion on specific recipient groups will be discussed.
-
Define storage lesion in red cell and platelet components.
-
Discuss the RECESS trial as it relates to red cell storage lesion.
-
Translate the basic science of the platelet storage lesion into improving patient outcomes and optimizing blood management.
