Survival and function of baboon RBCs released from clotted blood and washed before autologous transfusion

BACKGROUND: One alternative to an allogeneic transfusion is the salvaging of the patient's own shed blood. In this study, baboon blood was allowed to clot and the RBCs that were released from the clotted blood lysed with and without urokinase were washed before autologous transfusion.
