[Blood preservation and air transport: study of physical constraints (temperature and pressure)].
We study physical compulsions of packed red cells during air transport. We found important variations of pressure and temperatures in blood transport box. These variations explain the biological alterations found in the first part. New rules for blood air transport are proposed.
