Physiological properties of blood substitutes.

چکیده
Blood substitutes (modified hemoglobin solutions, perfluorocarbon emulsions) serve as artificial oxygen carriers and are alternatives to blood transfusions. Hemoglobin solutions mimic the sigmoidal oxygen dissociation curve of natural blood. Perfluorocarbon emulsions exhibit a linear relation between PO2 and dissolved oxygen. The most advanced substances may enter medicine in few years.

متن کاملResearch on Fat Substitutes
Fodd Scientists and technologists have long been searching for fat su bstitutes, i.e. compounds with physical and organoleptic properties similar to conventional dietary fats and oils but with as few calories as possible. After many years of persistant efforts, they have recently achieved considerable sussess in this field. Since a diet high in fat and cholesterol is regarded as an important fa...
متن کاملDirect comparison of oligochaete erythrocruorins as potential blood substitutes
While many blood substitutes are based on mammalian hemoglobins (e.g., human hemoglobin, HbA), the naturally extracellular hemoglobins of invertebrates (a.k.a. erythrocruorins, Ecs) are intriguing alternative oxygen carriers. Specifically, the erythrocruorin of Lumbricus terrestris has been shown to effectively deliver oxygen in mice and rats without the negative side effects observed with HbA....
متن کاملRheological properties of commonly used plasma substitutes during preoperative normovolaemic acute haemodilution.
Preoperative normovolaemic acute haemodilution (PNAH) is used to reduce major blood loss during elective surgery. Considerable attention has been paid to colloid osmotic pressure, index of diffusibility and intravascular half-life of the currently available substitutes, but there is little information on their rheological properties from in vivo studies. Forty patients undergoing elective aorti...
متن کاملPolyhemoglobin-fibrinogen: a novel oxygen carrier with platelet-like properties in a hemodiluted setting.
Polyhemoglobin (polyHb) is currently being assessed in phase III trials under various formulations. At present, none contain clotting factors or platelet substitutes to aid in hemostasis. We have prepared a novel blood substitute that is an oxygen carrier with platelet-like activity. This is formed by crosslinking fibrinogen to hemoglobin to form polyhemoglobin-fibrinogen (polyHb-Fg). This was ...
