For several decades RBCs components have been prepared as concentrates suspended in nutrient additive solution, which preserves and extends the shelf-life of the RBCs component, allowing up to 6-7 weeks of refrigerated storage Nevertheless, during storage RBCs undergo a complex and progressive accumulation of physicochemical changes, collectively referred to as the RBCs storage lesion Recent clinical studies have identified RBCs transfusion as an independent risk factor for increased morbidities
