The Effects of Inert Gases, Preservatives and Storage on Oxygen Transport in Blood

  • Chapter
Blood Oxygenation

Abstract

Research in the area of membrane transport has concentrated on the determination of ionic fluxes across biological barriers (1, 2, 11). Erythrocyte membranes are frequent subjects of such studies since they are readily available (1, 11). The transport of oxygen through erythrocyte membranes in particular has received much attention recently. Some previous oxygenation studies have relied on a lumped model approach in which all resistances to oxygen transport are combined into one parameter (8, 12, 13, 14). Differences between predicted and experimental results for these models were explained in terms of possible membrane resistance. This study provides a method for the direct determination of membrane resistance from experimental data (4).
