Q

After the discoveries regarding the use of Na citrate of anticoagulant, what followed next?

A

The development of preservative solutions to enhance the metabolism of the RBC

18
Q

What happened during 1916?

A

Glucose was tried as a preservative solution to enhance the metabolism of the RBC followed

19
Q

In connection to the trial of glucose as an preservative solution to enhance the metabolism of RBC, what is the contribution of Rous and Turner?

A

They introduced a citrate-dextrose solution for the preservation of blood

20
Q

What is the course of time regarding the understanding the function of glucose in RBC metabolism and what is the result of this?

A

It is not understood until the 1930s w/c results for the common practice of using glucose in the preservative solution was delayed

21
Q

What did WW II stimulated and why?

A

It stimulated blood preservation research because the demand for blood and plasma increased

22
Q

What is the pioneer work of Dr. Charles Drew during the WW II?

A

Developing techniques in blood transfusion and blood preservation lead to the establishment of a widespread system of blood banks

23
Q

What happened during Feb 1941?

A

Dr. Drew was appointed director of the 1st American Red Cross bank

24
Q

Where is Dr. Drew appointed director of the 1st American Red Cross blood bank?

A

Presbyterian hospital

25
Q

What program became the model for the national volunteer blood donor program of the American Red Cross?

A

The pilot program that Dr. Drew established

26
Q

What happened during 1943?

A

Loutit and Mollison of England introduced the formula for perspective acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD)

27
Q

What is the action done by the July 1947 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation?

A

It devoted nearly a dozen papers to blood preservation

28
Q

What happened during 1947?

A

Blood banks were established in many major cities of the US and after this, transfusion became commonplace

29
Q

Due to the daily occurrence of transfusions, what happened?

A

It led to the discovery of numerous blood grp systems

30
Q

True or False

An interested student can review historic events during WW II in Kendrick’s Blood Program in WW II

A

True

31
Q

What happened during 1957?

A

Gibson introduced an improvised preservative solution

32
Q

What is the improvised preservative solution that Gibson introduced?

A

Citrate-phosphate-dextrose (CPD)

33
Q

What is the characteristic of CPD in comparison w/ ACD?

A

It is less acidic

34
Q

What eventually replaced ACD as the std preservative used for blood storage?

A

CPD

35
Q

What is the new problem that is the result of frequent transfusions and the massive use of blood?

A

Circulatory overload

36
Q

What is the resolution for circulatory overload?

A

Component therapy

37
Q

W/ the utilization of component therapy, what can be done?

A

Before, a single unit of whole blood could serve only 1 pt. But now, w/ the utilization of component therapy, 1 unit may be used for multiple transfusions

38
Q

What can the physicians do today brought by the utilization of component therapy (/ what are the pros that the utilization of component therapy brought to physicians)?

A

1) They can select the sp component for their pts particular needs w/out risking the inherent hazards of whole blood transfusions
2) They can transfuse only the required fraction in the concentrated form, w/out overloading the circulation

39
Q

What are the (+) benefits brought by appropriate blood component therapy?

A

1) More effective treatment

2) More complete use of blood products

40
Q

Extensive use of blood during the period (where component therapy is being utilized) + component separation = what?

A

These led to increased comprehension of RBC metabolism and a new awareness of the problems associated w/ RBC storage
