Noninferior Red Cell Concentrate Quality after Repeated Air Rescue Mission Transport for Prehospital Transfusion

Discussion: The quality of RCCs after repeated air rescue missions is noninferior to control samples regarding biochemical and morphological parameters. The product quality is within German regulations for up to 42 days of storage. The logistics and maintenance of the thermal conditions are safe and feasible. Thus, a rotation system of RCCs offers a regulatory-compliant option to supply air rescue missions with RCCs to allow life-saving prehospital transfusions at the incident scene.Transfus Med Hemother
