blood products

Wow, thanks Chris for spotting those articles.

It is wonderful that the spotlight is being put upon the quality of the blood supply. It can only mean benefit for all of our transfusion dependent loved ones.
I hope that this will be the prod that is needed for some clinical trials and data gathering.

I still maintain that fresher is better. I wonder if the units referred to in the article were prbcs or actually whole blood?

I would really like to see some scientifically gathered statistics on patients with that are transfusion dependent on platelets AND prbcs.
