The Use of ACD Bank Blood and Fresh Heparinized Blood in Open‐Heart Surgery: *

A study was undertaken to establish whether the use of stored ACD blood, up to four days old and subsequently heparinized and recalcified, in the pump‐oxygenator for open‐heart surgery would have any detrimental effect upon postoperative coagulation and hemostasis. A comparison was made with cases in which fresh heparinized blood was used.
