Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in the expression of PS on erythrocytes before and after RBC transfusion and the influence of an inflammatory state in the receiver. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Clearance rate of erythrocytes - expression of clearance markers, other than PS * markers of immune cell and endothelial cell activation and adhesion * complete blood count * Levels of fibrinogen, APTT, PTT and D-dimers in blood (to calculate DIC score) * markers of inflammatory host respons * Sublingual microcirculatory density and perfusion velocity, as visualized with SDF * Tissue oxygenation, as measured with NIRS * VO2 (oxygen uptake), DO2 (oxygen delivery), O2ER (oxygen extraction ratio) * Time on mechanical ventilation * Duration of ICU stay * Duration of hospital stay * 28 day mortality * DNA staining on residual red blood cell material, * Red blood cell deformability, activation status and cell-binding ability | — |
