Abstract
Fresh heparinized and ACD stored blood from smokers showed a reduced oxygen content when equilibrated with 95 per cent oxygen in vitro for 30–45 min This was associated with a raised carboxyhaemoglobin level, which persisted beyond the normal 21-day period of storage of donor blood.Keywords
