Age of transfused blood: an independent predictor of mortality despite
universal leukoreduction.
Weinberg JA, McGwin G, Griffin RL, Huynh VQ, Cherry SA, Marques MB,
Reiff DA, Kerby JD, Rue LW
J Trauma 2008 Aug; 65(2):279-82; discussion 282-4.

BACKGROUND: The transfusion of relatively older stored blood has been
associated with an increased risk of multiple organ failure,
infection, and death. It remains unknown whether this phenomenon is
mitigated by transfusion of leukoreduced red cell units. The purpose
of this study was to evaluate the influence of stored blood age on
mortality in injured patients who universally received leukoreduced
blood.
METHODS: Trauma patients who received > or = 1 unit of blood during
the first 24 hours after hospital arrival were selected for inclusion.
Patients were stratified both according to total units and "old" units
(> or = 14 days) versus "young" units (< 14 days) received in the
initial 24 hours. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were
calculated for the association between mortality and the age and
amount of blood transfused, adjusted for age, sex, injury severity,
injury mechanism, number of units transfused, and length of stay.
RESULTS: Over 7.5 years, 1,813 patients met study criteria. Among
patients who received a total of 1 to 2 or 3 to 5 units in the first
24 hours, there was no association between the amount and age of
transfused blood and mortality. For patients who received a total of >
or = 6 units, the presence of > or = 3 units of young blood was
associated with a 3.8-fold increased odds of death (CI: 1.1-12.7),
compared with a 7.8-fold (CI: 2.3-26.3) increased odds of death
associated with the presence of > or = 3 units of old blood (p =
0.0024).
CONCLUSION: Although larger volumes of blood, irrespective of age, are
associated with increased odds of mortality, the transfusion of blood
stored beyond 2 weeks appears to potentiate this association despite a
practice of universal leukoreduction. For patients who receive
relatively smaller transfusion volumes, blood age appears to have no
effect on mortality.

Those of us who do see your theories disproved on a daily basis.
What you propose seems like a plausible idea, but simply doesn't fit the

you have no education on anything medical.

Your posts here and elsewhere achieve absolutely nothing.

The medical professionals who you simultaneously quote and despise can see
the flaws in your logic and do not take you seriously (despite giving you so
many chances).

Those who are ill soon learn to treat your posts with contempt when they see

Get a hobby - your life would be so much more constructively employed.

That's your cue to drop the vowels and bring on the dots.

The danger of hemolysis in shock.
R M Hardaway, R Dumke, T Gee, T Meyers, J Joyner, J Graf, D Lee, and J
Revels
Abstract
Intravascular hemolysis is sometimes harmful and often fatal.
Other times it is harmless.
Dogs were paired and subjected to hemorrhagic shock.
One of the pair was given 2 ml/kg of autologous hemolyzed blood before
bleeding. The other of the pair was given 2 ml/kg of heparinized
autologous blood.
All of the animals given heparinized blood survived, whereas, all of
the animals given hemolyzed blood died.
The animals given hemolyzed blood developed coagulation changes
indicative of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), whereas,
the dogs given nonhemolyzed blood did not.
It is concluded that hemolysis in the presence of shock (slow
capillary flow) causes DIC and death.
Hemorrhagic shock alone or hemolysis alone was harmless

"Independently influenced by the storage time"

Changes in red blood cell integrity related to infusion pumps: A
comparison of three different pump mechanisms.

LABORATORY INVESTIGATION

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. 4(4):465-470, October 2003.
Frey, Bernhard MD; Eber, Stefan MD; Weiss, Markus MD
Abstract:
Objective: To study the effects of three different infusion pumps on
red blood cell (RBC) integrity.

Setting: Laboratory.

Interventions: Transfusion of packed RBCs using three different pumps
(syringe pump, conventional peristaltic pump, and a new volumetric
pump with shuttle mechanism). Flow rate was set at 20 mL/hr and
duration was 2.5 hrs, simulating a neonatal transfusion. Experiments
were repeated in each pump with eight different units of packed RBCs.

Measurements and Main Results: Plasma hemoglobin, potassium, lactate
dehydrogenase, bilirubin, and osmotic fragility were assessed before
and after transfusion. There was a significant degree of hemolysis in
the RBC bags before transfusion (mean +/- sd for plasma hemoglobin,
5.9 +/- 3.0 g/L; potassium, 40.0 +/- 11.8 mmol/L; lactate
dehydrogenase, 64 +/- 38 units/L; total bilirubin,: 1.5 +/- 0.8
[mu]mol/L). Overall increase between samples before and after
transfusion was 12% for plasma hemoglobin (p = .01, paired Student's t-
test), 2% for potassium (p = .03), 20% for lactate dehydrogenase (p = .
0001), and 47% for total bilirubin (p = .04). Plasma hemoglobin and
lactate dehydrogenase changes were significantly influenced by the
type of infusion pump (p = .006 and .01, multiple regression
analysis). Regarding these two variables, the new volumetric pump was
less hemolytic than the other two pumps. The degree of the transfusion-
related RBC changes was also significantly and independently
influenced by the storage time of the blood bags with plasma
hemoglobin, bilirubin, and osmotic fragility changing less in old
bags.

Conclusions: The new pump's shuttle mechanism seems to be less
injurious to RBCs compared with a conventional syringe and a
peristaltic infusion pump. However, the clinical significance must be
related to the hemolytic changes in the RBC units before they are
transfused, which are a major source of the overall hemolytic load.

Abstract
The authors have previously shown that bilirubin-oxidation products
(BOXes) are present in CSF of subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with
vasospasm, and that BOXes cause vasoconstriction in vitro.
This study determined whether BOXes cause vasospasm in vivo. Identical
volumes of either lysed blood or standardized amounts of BOXes were
injected into the cisterna magna of adult rats.
BOX injections caused 6 of 10 rats to die within 10 minutes, whereas
12 of 12 rats survived for 24 hours after blood injections.
The mechanism for this significant (P  0.01) increase in mortality was
unclear. To directly test whether BOXes produced vasospasm, a cranial
window technique was used.
Application of 20 L of 10-mol/L bilirubin had little effect on the
vessels.
However, application of BOXes produced marked, dose-dependent small
artery and arteriole vasospasm that approached a 90% decrease in
diameter by 40 minutes after application in some vessels, and
persisted for at least 24 hours.
To determine if BOX-mediated vasospasm led to cortical injury,
histology and immunocytochemistry were performed on animals that
survived for 24 hours.
There was a BOX-related stress protein response for HSP25 and HSP32
(HO-1) without evidence of infarction.
The finding that the BOXes produce vasospasm of cerebral vessels in
vivo, in conjunction with BOXes being found in CSF of vasospasm
patients, supports our hypothesis that BOXes contribute to or cause
cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

“OLD BLOOD” LINKED TO INFECTION

Current Blood Storage Length Debated
(Philadelphia, PA, October 28, 2008) — Blood stored for 29 days or
more, nearly 2 weeks less than the current standard for blood storage,
is associated with a higher infection rate in patientswho received
transfusions with the blood.
In a new study presented at CHEST 2008, the 74thannual international
scientific assembly of the American College of Chest Physicians
(ACCP),researchers found that patients who received transfusions with
blood stored for 29 days or more
were twice as likely to suffer from nosocomial infections, including
pneumonia, upper respiratory infections, and sepsis, with the oldest
blood being associated with the most infections.
Currently, federal regulations allow red blood cells to be stored up
to 42 days, after which they must be discarded.
“Stored red blood cells undergo changes that promote the release of a
number of
biochemical substances called cytokines, which can depress the
recipients’ immune function and leave them more susceptible to
infection,” said study author Raquel Nahra, MD, who conducted her
research while at Cooper University Hospital, Camden, NJ.
“Those changes start around 14 days of storage and reach a maximum
after the blood is discarded at 42 days.”
Researchers from Cooper University Hospital examined the association
between the age of packed red blood cells and the development of
nosocomial infections (NOSO) in 422 patients receiving blood
transfusions who were admitted to an ICU from July 2003 to September
2006.
Researchers performed an analysis of the age of the first unit of
blood, age of the “oldest” unit of blood (OL), the average age of the
unit of blood, and the outcome of NOSO.
“Previous data indicate that the average age of transfused blood is
around 17 days old,” said American College of Chest Physicians • 3300
Dundee Road • Northbrook, Illinois 60062
Phone: (847) 498-1400 • Fax: (847) 498-5460 • E-mail:
media@chestnet.org • Internet: www.chestnet.org
Dr. Nahra.
“In our study, the average age of blood was 26 days, and 70 percent of
all the blood
transfused was older than 21 days, suggesting that a large pool of
available blood is old blood with higher levels of cytokines and more
potential for an immunosuppressive effect.”
The analysis showed that 11 percent of patients died, while 57
patients (13.5 percent) developed NOSO: 32 patients developed one
NOSO, 21 developed two NOSO, and 4 developed 3NOSO.
Patients who developed NOSO had a significantly higher OL (28.5 days
vs. 32 days), and a significantly greater number of units of blood (2
U vs. 3 U).
Patients who received transfusions with blood that was 29 days or
older were twice as likely to develop NOSO as those receiving
transfusions with blood stored for 28 days or less. When the outcome
of “at least one infection” was analyzed, a higher number of units of
blood (>5 U) was found to be an independent predictor of
infection.
Furthermore, while the age of the first unit of blood transfused
appeared to be associated with the development of infection, the age
of the oldest unit showed the strongest relationship.
Many institutions, including Dr. Nahra’s, use the oldest available
blood first, to ensure that it does not go to waste.
Researchers speculate that if strict regulation of blood storage were
to occur
(ie, shorter maximum storage allowance), the overall blood supply may
decrease.
“More cautious utilization of blood might help to alleviate, at in
least part, a diminished blood supply that might result from such a
change in policy,” said study director and senior investigator David
Gerber, DO, Cooper University Hospital.
“More studies are needed, and the overall implications of any such
potential changes need to be formally assessed before any major
changes in blood storage policy can be proposed.”
“The results of this study raise questions about current blood storage
standards and
transfusion practices and suggest additional research is needed in
these areas,” said James A. L. Mathers, Jr., MD, FCCP, President of
the American College of Chest Physicians.
CHEST 2008 is the 74th annual international scientific assembly of the
American College of Chest Physicians, held October 25-30 in
Philadelphia, PA. ACCP represents 17,000 members who provide patient
care in the areas of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine in
the United States and throughout the world. The ACCP’s mission is to

"RBC transfusion associated with an increased risk for death"

Blood study could change medical thinking, researcher says

Associated Press

By JANET McCONNAUGHEY

February 22, 1999

The finding that it is safe - and sometimes better - to cut back on
blood transfusions for critically ill patients may have effects far
beyond the obvious ones of saving blood and money.

It could open the way for more studies of whether common sense makes
medical sense, said Gordon R. Barnard, chief of critical care service
at
Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.

Common sense would say that a normal red cell count is better than a
low
one, but the work directed by doctor Paul C. Hebert shows that isn't
always so, Barnard said.

Hebert, of the University of Ottawa, found that critical care
patients
are as likely to recover if they get transfusions only when they
become
severely anemic as they are when mild anemia is the trigger for
transfusion.

And, it found, the more restrictive strategy is better for patients
under the age of 55 and those who are less critically ill. Among
those
patients, those who got more transfusions were more likely to die.

"If common sense is not reliable, we need clinical trials," Barnard
said. "I think this paves the way for clinical trials that seem to
fly
in the face of logic."

He said Hebert's study asked a very simple question in everyday
practice: What hemoglobin level is best in the ICU?

"There are a number of questions like that which remain unanswered or
inadequately answered, not only in general medicine but in critical
care, particularly," he said.

Some of those questions: What is the best oxygen level to maintain?
When
drugs have to be used to raise a patient's blood pressure, what is
the
best blood pressure to maintain?

"We don't know if we should try to achieve normal levels, 10 percent
less than normal, or where. It's probably different depending on what
physiological breakdown we're talking about," Barnard said.

Red-cell transfusions are routine to fight anemia. However, critical
care doctors disagree on when they are needed. Some give them when a
patient becomes slightly anemic, with 10 grams of hemoglobin per
deciliter of blood, compared to the usual 11.5 to 12.5 grams. Others
wait until a patient is severely anemic, at 7 grams of hemoglobin per
deciliter.

Hebert and the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group randomly divided
838
critically ill and anemic patients into two groups, one for each
treatment strategy.

He said he expected the two approaches to produce similar results, a
finding that by itself could save millions of dollars a year. And,
overall, that was the result, he reported in today's edition of the
New
England Journal of Medicine.

The 420 patients in the liberal strategy group got an average of 5.6
units of blood apiece, while the 418 in the restrictive group
averaged
2.6 units - about 54 percent less.

In addition, one-third of the patients in the restrictive group did
not
get any transfusions at all.

And in two groups, less was better: Younger and less critically sick
patients were more likely to die if they got more transfusions.

"This is a landmark study. This is bigtime," said Stephen Cohn, chief
of
trauma and surgical critical care at Jackson Memorial
Hospital-University of Miami School of Medicine.

He and Robert Taylor, president of the Society for Critical Care
Medicine, said they plan to use the more restrictive guidelines in
their
ICUs.

Taylor, of St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis, emphasized
that
the findings don't apply to several groups of patients. He said that
includes patients who are bleeding, whether from ulcers or wounds;
those
suffering from heart attacks or reduced flow of blood to the heart;
and
those with emphysema and cardiovascular disease.

And, he said, "This is a large study. A well-done study. But there
needs
to be other studies that confirm this."

Nobody knows just how many patients the nation's ICUs treat a year,
or
how many transfusions they get.

But the 68-bed ICU at St. John's Mercy used 337 units in November.
"If
we could cut that by 54 percent, that's a significant issue," Taylor
said.

It was a **Public** Health Employee who discovered the fact the

Sooo .. when four blood bags are given to someone in the US .. two -
thousand dollars are made by the US health care system / 4x500 .
75% of that goes right directly into the hospital coffers and the

The doctor gets a percentage of all stuff prescribed in the US system.
In Canada there are no **incentives** to kill the patient and make a

If all that Iron and Blood are so bad for humans, how much should each
person bleed out to become healthy? Anyone want to try?

The following is a quote from the Merck Manual of Medical Information
Second Home Edition page 979; Chapter 169 entitled Biology of Bood:
" The speed of blood cell production is controlled by the body's
needs. Normal blood cells last for a limited time (ranging from a few
hours to a few days for white blood cells, to about 10 days for
platelets, to about 120 days for red blood cells) and must be replaced
constantly."
This quote definitiely describes, defines, and explains the
biochemical, biological, and physical factors which result in the
increase in morbidity and mortality resulting from aged blood products
as related in the original post.
