Evaluation of an Additive Solution for Preservation of Canine Red Blood Cells

摘要

The value of the additive solution Adsol for canine blood has not been established, The use of an additive solution as a storage medium for canine packed red blood cells (RBC) was investigated. One unit of blood was obtained from 6 clinically normal dogs. The blood was collected into the anticoagulant citrate phosphate dextrose and centrifuged, and the plasma was removed. The red blood cells were suspended in 100 mL of a solution of saline, adenine, dextrose, and mannitol and stored at 4°C Aliquotswere periodically removed for study, and the 24-hour post-transfusion viability (PTV) of autologous RBCs was determined.
