Respiratory changes in human red cells

To investigate physiological respiratory changes in human red cells, we measured automated red cell parameters in samples from the pulmonary and radial arteries of 86 patients undergoing aorto‐coronary bypass and from the pulmonary artery and the aorta in 23 patients. Our results showed higher mean...

Summary:To investigate physiological respiratory changes in human red cells, we measured automated red cell parameters in samples from the pulmonary and radial arteries of 86 patients undergoing aorto‐coronary bypass and from the pulmonary artery and the aorta in 23 patients.
