Electrolyte, acid –base, and hemoglobin oxygen affinity alterations following irradiation and storage of canine packed red blood cells

ConclusionsThis hypothesis‐generating study found irradiation and storage significantly altered in vitro properties of pRBC. The magnitude of these differences was small and the clinical impact of irradiation on pRBC may be negligible.
