No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Transfusion of stored blood has been associated with increased pulmonary vascular resistance in lambs. The investigators hypothesize that transfusion of one unit of red blood cells stored under standard conditions in intensive care patients will increase pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance to a greater extent than will one unit of fresh red blood cells.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Hypertension

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Blood transfusion

One unit of red blood cells will be transfused over the course of 20 minutes
