[Production of transfusion media on the base of erythrocytes and plasma substitute solutions].

A review of investigations has been made conducted in the USSR and abroad on the production of combined polyfunctional hemotransfusion media--red blood cell suspensions in plasma-substituting solutions possessing preservative properties and hemodynamic action. The advantages of the hemotransfusion therapy with the use of these media have been shown associated with the diminution of the risk of posttransfusion complications and reactions (especially under extreme conditions) and depending on economic aspects. The properties of red blood cell suspension in the modified deionization gelatin solution have been considered in detail.
