Oxygenating the microcirculation: the perspective from blood transfusion and blood storage.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:In Japan, eligibility for blood donation depends on blood specific gravity, which does not directly measure blood haemoglobin. Additionally, the criteria are not based on normal values. Therefore, we investigated the feasibility of predonation screening by using actual haemoglobin levels, and ...
