Measure
Rejuvenated RBC Transfusion
Washed and Rejuvenated autologous blood Transfusion of rejuvenated and washed autolgous RBCs: Rejuvenation refers to the process of adding a mix of solutes (Rejuvesol®, Citra Labs, Braintree, MA; consists of sodium pyruvate, inosine, adenine, mono- and dibasic sodium phosphate) to older, stored (i.e., 2-3 DPG-depleted) blood to immediately restore 2,3-DPG and ATP levels in the stored red blood cells15. Rejuvenation was originally developed to prolong the storage life of rare-phenotype RBC units. It is FDA-approved for use in RBC units stored in CPD, CPDA-1, and AS-1. The major contraindication for the use of Rejuvesol® is in RBC units stored for fewer than 6 days due to high baseline 2,3-DPG and ATP levels. Rejuvenated units must be washed prior to administration to remove residual Rejuvesol that is not approved for iv administration in such concentrations.
Standard RBC Transfusion
Washed autologous blood (so as to maintain equivalent unit volume and Hct) Transfusion of washed autolgous RBCs: Autologous RBCs will be washed prior to transfusion to maintain blinding and equalize volume and Hct with the rejuvenated and washed intervention arm
