Abstract
Analyzing 2010 results we found that usage of total autologous RBCc units was increased by 2.2 folds, of “not stored” autologous RBCc units by 2.4 folds and of allogeneic RBCc unit transfusion reduced by 65%. The significant reduction in the number of transfused allogeneic RBCc units associated with the use of “fresher” blood could prevent patients' complications due to immunomodulation and biologic/metabolic disregulation.
