We have previously shown that thawed RBC concentrate can be stored at +4 degrees C during 9 days if resuspended in a synthetic medium: ESOC. We now report the in vitro evolution of thawed RBC stored with or without protective medium during the 24 hours legal time-limit. (Formula: see text) We show that without protection, the ATP and 2,3-DPG levels remain acceptable, but spontaneous or caused hemolysis is high. The level of free Hb is soon over the legal limit. The addition of our protective medium enhances ATP and hemolysis is strongly reduced. We conclude that a protective medium should be added to all thawed RBC concentrates.

Red cell concentrate (RCC) cryopreservation allows for long-term storage of RCCs with rare phenotypes. Currently, tubing segments are not produced for these frozen units. Pre-transfusion compatibility testing therefore requires thawing and deglycerolization of the whole unit.

In transfusion medicine, the cryopreservation of red blood cells (RBCs) is of major importance. The organic solvent glycerol (Gly) is considered the current gold-standard cryoprotectant (CPA) for RBC cryopreservation, but the deglycerolization procedure is complex and time-consuming, resulting in severe hemolysis. Therefore, it remains a research hotspot to find biocompatible and effective novel CPAs.

One of the most common life-saving medical procedures is a red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. Unfortunately, RBCs for transfusion have a limited shelf life after donation due to detrimental storage effects on their morphological and biochemical properties. Inspired by nature, a biomimetics approach was developed to preserve RBCs for long-term storage using compounds found in animals with a natural propensity to survive in a frozen or desiccated state for decades.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying predictors of massive blood transfusion during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) to aid in better blood bank management.
- Data was analyzed from 970 patients who underwent OLT between 2007 and 2017, highlighting that 12.3% experienced massive transfusions defined as receiving 10 or more units of packed red blood cells.
- Key predictors of massive transfusion included factors like previous abdominal surgery, the patient’s hemoglobin level, MELD score, and the times related to cold and warm ischemia as well as overall operation duration.

Article Synopsis
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs) are becoming more common in India, with 2533 transplants reported in 2019, according to the Indian Stem Cell Transplant Registry.
- A survey conducted among 102 HSCT centers in India revealed that many hospitals perform a high volume of transplants and commonly engage in various graft manipulation techniques, with a notable focus on cryopreservation.
- The findings indicate a significant lack of standardization in the practices surrounding HSCT graft manipulation in India, suggesting a need for more research and the establishment of specific guidelines.
