An Efficient Apparatus for Rapid Deoxygenation of Erythrocyte Concentrates for Alternative Banking Strategies

Table 2

SEM erythrocyte shape classification.

Storage day	Discocyte (%)	Reversibly* changed RBC (%); (echinocyte and stomatocyte shapes)	Irreversibly* changed RBC (%); (spheroechinocyte, spherostomatocyte, spherocyte, ovalocyte, and degenerated shapes)
0	76.5 + 3.1	19.2 ± 5.7	4.3 ± 2.6
42 control	20.6 ± 2.5	43.2 ± 3.8	36.2 ± 2.9
42 deoxygenated	32.1 ± 1.9	45.4 ± 2.2	22.5 ± 3.1

∗Reversible and irreversible changes were classified based on classification criteria, as previously reported by D'Alessandro et al. [9].
