Case of Carbon-monoxide Poisoning with Complications

Abstract

We are now very near to being able to predict from tests in vitro whether a given sample of red cells will undergo rapid destruction if transfused to a particular patient and, if so, how rapid destruction will be, whether it will involve all or only some of the transfused red cells, whether it will be predominantly intravascular or extravascular, and, if extravascular, whether it will occur predominantly in the liver or the spleen.
