Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and a system for transfusing blood to a mammalian subject. The method includes obtaining a volume of donated red blood cells (RBCs), adding an enhancement composition to the RBCs to form a treated blood composition, incubating the treated blood composition to form an incubated blood composition, and administering the incubated blood composition to a patient. The system includes a functionally-closed, sterile Y-type tube set.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transfusing blood to a mammalian subject suffering from a disorder characterized by reduced oxygenation of tissue, the method comprising, at the point of care, the steps of: (a) adding an enhancement composition to a volume of red blood cells, forming a treated red blood cell composition, wherein the enhancement composition comprises a rejuvenating material selected from the group consisting of inosine, adenine, pyruvate, sodium phosphate, and m…
