Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the effects of storing whole blood (WB) at room temperature (RT) versus refrigeration for up to 24 hours on its coagulation properties, focusing on blood conservation techniques like acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH).
- - Results showed that cold-stored WB maintained better platelet aggregation responses and metabolic characteristics than RT-stored WB, particularly after 6 and 12 hours of storage.
- - Overall, refrigerated WB was found to be more effective for ANH, highlighting the advantages of cooler storage in preserving blood quality for transfusions.
