Cambios bioquímicos de las unidades de sangre durante su almacenamiento en la Hemoteca del Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, Cuenca-Ecuador, 2004-2005

Abstract

The biochemical changes of blood units is analyzed during storage in hemotransfusion. The intention of the project is to demonstrate that by not taking the necessary precautions, stored blood would be harmful to the receiver. The study was conducted in 30 units of blood donor group O Rh + and A Rh +, male and female. Once collected blood units proceeded to storage in the Blood Bank Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital, so the researchers took samples of the same on the dates set. Villains took the samples to the laboratory Diagnostic Center of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, where he proceeded to analyze the samples by the authors of the project with the help of laboratory personnel, for which they were previously trained. Once the study is completed sample results where a number of changes including the marked decrease in platelets from the second day as well as the sharp rise of potassium from the fourth day of the study highlights noted were analyzed. Another change is considered significant decrease in white with an investment in the formula
