[Transfusion of newly stored blood].

It is shown that freshly stored stabilized blood differs in its effect on a recipient only on account of addition of stabilizors to it. The replacement effect due to transfusion of freshly preserved citrated blood is analogous to that noted in direct blood transfusion, however the response of the cardiovascular system inadequate for the transfused blood volume would restrict the rate and volume of transfusion. Freshly heparinized blood differs from donor blood by impaired coagulation factors, but it is identical in hemodynamic effect. Freshly preserved sorbent blood is mostly close in its efficacy to direct transfusions, since its content differs from native donor blood only in calcium content.
