Funded Activity Summary

In Australia, blood for transfusions has a “use by” date of 42 days after collection. The actual age of blood given to patients depends on what is available at the time and the rate of usage. Some research has been done to suggest it might help patients in the intensive care unit reach a better recovery if they receive blood transfusions that are younger than this. This project will test whether patients who receive ‘fresher’ blood do better than patients who receive ‘standard issue ’ blood.
