title: PEG-hemoglobin: an efficient oxygen-delivery system in the rat exchange transfusion and hypovolemic shock models.
abstract: Polyethylene glycol-hemoglobin (PEG-Hb is a purified bovine hemoglobin molecule modified by polyethylene glycol. Oxygen delivery to the tissue, in rat exchange transfusion and hypovolemic shock models, was studied to determine whether the oxygen-carrying capacity of PEG-Hb is as efficient as red blood cells.
