Oxygen Uptake of Human Erythrocytes in Fresh and Stored Blood.

Abstract
The O2 uptake of human whole blood is essentially the same whether sodium citrate or heparin is used as an anticoagulant. There is a significant difference between the O2 uptake of the blood of men and women. A significant fluctuation was noted in the O2 uptake of fresh blood from one person from day to day. The O2 uptake of human blood stored in ACD solution rapidly decreases for 20 days then fluctuates for at least 60 more days in an erratic fashion.
