Temperature control of red blood cell suspensions in long-distance transportation / 医学研究生学报

Objective: To investigate the temperature control methods for long-distance transportation of red blood cell suspensions in military affairs or emergence.Methods: We loaded blood transport cars with red blood cell suspensions to full capacity and kept the temperature by combined cooling methods.Results: The temperature in the container was kept between 2-6.2℃ during the 72 h transportation,even when the refrigeration system of the car was out of work.Conclusion: The required temperature for long-distance transportation of red blood cell suspensions could be attained by combined cooling methods in case of insecurity of transportation time and the effect of single cooling method.
