Acid–base, electrolyte and metabolite concentrations in packed red blood cells for major transfusion in infants

Methods: Acid–base, electrolyte and metabolite concentrations were determined in 100 U of packed red blood cells (RBC) preserved in extended‐storage media to be used for major transfusion in paediatric and cardiac surgery.
