Favourable effect of storage at 0 degrees C on the O2 transport function of heparinized blood.
The biological value of heparinized blood was found to decrease less on storage at 0 degrees C than on storage at +4 degrees C. At 0 degrees C the P50 value decreases substantially later and less, the blood is less acidotic, and the UV absorption of the dialysate is less enhanced than at +4 degrees C. The findings justify a further search for the conditions suitable for the widespread practical application of storage at 0 degrees C.
