Article Synopsis
- There are tiny particles called microparticles (MPs) that can change how effective blood transfusions are, and we need a good way to measure them in packed red blood cells (pRBCs).
- A study was done to test a method that checks the amounts of MPs in pRBCs over time, while they are stored in different conditions.
- The results showed that the levels of these MPs increase a lot during 42 days of storage, and the method they used can help understand how MPs affect patients when they get blood transfusions in the future.

The pathophysiological hypotheses proposed to date to explain this hypoxia without pulmonary artery hypertension, but accompanied by disturbances of carbon monoxide transport, reveal a common element which is difficult to diagnose and quantify: intra-pulmonary shunts. The authors consider gamma-angiocardiography to be a simple diagnostic procedure.
