[Blood transfusion support in rendering medical care in extreme conditions]
Abstract
About 20% of accident and disaster victims need the hemotransfusion therapy. At present the method of erythrocyte long-term storage in the blood banks with glycerin high concentration is the most acceptable one. There are special medical teams (SMT) in the districts. They include the transfusiologic group with appropriate reserve of hemotransfusion materials. Most of them must be stored as untouchable reserve in the institutions of blood service and large hospitals on which the SMTs are based.
