Figure 5. Effects of RBC storage and washing on acute lung injury after trauma-hemorrhage.

Figure 5

Mice were exposed to trauma-hemorrhage and resuscitated with either saline or RBCs that were stored for either 0d or 5d and BAL levels of protein (Panel A) or inflammatory cell (Panel B), with differential analysis (Panel C–D) determined. As indicated, tested variables included transfusing with 1unit (1U) or 3 units (3U), and washing RBC prior to transfusion (grey bars). Black bars indicate pRBC transfusion without washing. *P<0.05 or **P<0.01 as indicated by 1-way ANOVA with Tukey post test. #P<0.01 relative to respective unwashed d0 group by 1-way ANOVA with Tukey post test. n= 3–12 per group.
