woould not use.  The data on it is dismal. Talk to Peggy in SF about her results and others.  LESS O2 delivery after using it vs salt water.

Greetings all,

 

Apologies for the cross-post to trauma-l/ccm-l.

 

Preparations for our expedition to Antarctica continue at a satisfactory
pace.  Thanks for all the interest. - if you want to receive my newsletter
update, and have not yet received an email from [AntarcticDoctor], please
email me off-list and I will add you.

 

I've had encouragement from the military health team involved in training to
take a blood analogue, Hemopure.  I have just had a meeting with the local
doctor who is the company rep and does training, and am excited about the
possibilities (obviously, with a small team and the very real risk of
trauma, the challenge of transfusion has come to my attention).  I am,
however, aware of the previous reservations and reports of complications
with blood replacement fluids, especially the reports of increased MI
incidence and risks associated with the PFC's

 

I'm interested to hear your comments and experiences with this and similar
products, either on the list of privately.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ross.
