PROPAGANDA PICTURES

The people have taken care OF
propaganda pictures. There will
be fewer Of them IN the future,
not because of possible govern

TRANSMISSION of blood from one
human being TO another has been,
indeed, one of the great advances
in treatment. Ii is. valuable in
surgical shock, in hemorrhage
after any injury, and, therefore,
of course, particularly valuable in
war surgery for war wounds. Mil
itary practice, however. creates
problems in regard 10 TRANSMISSION
which are not met with in civil life
Blood Banks
In large scale engagements a
great deal of blood is needed and
donors cannot be spared from the
fighting line. The first attempt TO
solve this problem was to create
blood banks. As is well known,
people must be tested to see
whether the blood they give will fit
the blood Of the recipient. There
are certain classes known as "uni-
versal donors" whose blood can be
transfused into anybody without
harm. These blood banks are OBJ
tanned from the universal donors
and stored in sterile TASKS with an
anti-coagulant, sodium citrate,
added. The trouble with this was
that these banks are liable to de-
generate and cause severe reac-
tons when TRANSMISSION is given.
It took six months Of the present
war for the British to rediscover
what was found in 1916; that glu-
cose added to these blood banks
will do much to preserve the blood
and reduce reactions. 1t has been
further found, however, by the
British and French, that whole
blood is not necessary. When hem
orrhage occurs, and often in surgi-
cal shock, the principal difficulty
is simply lack of fluid in the blood
vessels. Salt solution put in simply
pours out through the kidneys and
sweat glands, but it is possible to
replace the volume by the use of
blood serum, or blood plasma,
which is the substance which re-
suits after a clot has formed in
drawn blood.
Use of Plasma
These plasma banks have proved
very useful and are not subject to
the deterioration that occurs in
whole blood banks. The only OBJ
lection to them has been their bulk.
A new development has been that
the plasma is allowed to dry so
that very large amounts of what is
potentially blood plasma can be
stored in relatively small space
and moved with moving troops.
All that is needed to be done is TO
add some sort of a dilutent so that
this plasma is put back in solution.
This series of experiences, with
gradual improvement, has been
the result of a great deal Of work
on the part of the English Medical
Research Council and the Medical
Department of the U. S. Army.
