Abstract: Blood banks strive to maximize the supply of blood from the right donor to the right patient in a timely manner.
They attempt to ensure effectiveness by requiring proof that a reasonable proportion of red blood cells, platelets, and plasma proteins survive storage before allowing new blood storage systems or blood-regulating products such as leukopenia filters4,5. However, a reasonable ratio for erythrocytes is 75%, for platelets 67% and for plasma proteins 80%.Standards, such as insisting that every unit of blood be tested for HIV, only work if the tests are allowed to detect circulating virus, a moving target.
Keywords: blood banking, blood component, storage, transfusion.
