Red blood cell survival and morphology during and after intraoperative autotransfusion. 1984

D Paravicini, and A H Wasylewski, and J Rassat, and J Thys

In an animal experimental model the survival of untreated red blood cells (RBC) tagged with 51Cr was compared with cells processed by an autotransfusion device separating and washing the RBC tagged with 111In. Intraoperative autotransfusion (IAT) was done by the Haemonetics Cell Saver. Additionally the morphology of human RBC was investigated in different stages of IAT by the aid of scanner electron micrographs. The survival of RBC after processing was slightly decreased in comparison to untreated cells. The morphology of autologous RBC is little affected compared with older homologous RBC in erythrocytic concentrates. Cell detritus due to haemolysis is reliably eliminated by microfiltration. Especially regarding survival and morphologic alterations of RBC IAT with a system separating and washing the cells seems to be superior to the transfusion of homologous blood.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D004905 Erythrocyte Aging The senescence of RED BLOOD CELLS. Lacking the organelles that make protein synthesis possible, the mature erythrocyte is incapable of self-repair, reproduction, and carrying out certain functions performed by other cells. This limits the average life span of an erythrocyte to 120 days. Erythrocyte Survival,Aging, Erythrocyte,Survival, Erythrocyte
D004912 Erythrocytes Red blood cells. Mature erythrocytes are non-nucleated, biconcave disks containing HEMOGLOBIN whose function is to transport OXYGEN.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
