(i) identification and cellular characteristics of red blood cells from patients with altered ion homeostasis and delivery of novel and easy-to-use diagnostics for rare anemia*s, for patients with: a) a known primary defect in the ion channels of…
Primary objectives:(i) To study the pathophysiology, in particular the role of disturbed ion channel function in hereditary haemolytic anaemia(ii) To define novel intra- and extracellular (bio)markers in hereditary haemolytic anaemia. Secondary…
To determine the effect of a single red blood cell transfusion on the microcirculation.
The primary objective in this observational study is to determine microcirculatory profile in preterm and term neonates. We would like to determine how the microcirculation changes in time during the phase of adaptation and correlate inter- and…
The main purpose of this project is to investigate the conditions under which blood transfusions are successful in promoting microcirculatory circulation and oxygenation in anemic patients. In this project we wish to apply our state of the art…
To study whether microcirculatory perfusion is improved by ECMO. Perfusion will be studied before & after ECMO start, during ECMO weaning and before & after ECMO stop. To study the precictive value of perfusion and its correlation…
Aim of the proposed study will be to investigate whether microvascular blood flow at baseline is impaired in Eisenmenger patients who experience symptoms of the *hyperviscosity syndrome*. Furthermore, in view of the controversy whether to perform…
Objective: Primary objective: Red blood cell aggregation and elongation (deformability) assessed by a laser assisted optical rotational cell analyzer (LORCA) on days 1-3, and within 24 hours after weaning of ECLS. Secondary objectives are red blood…
Primary objectives:- to explore transfusion induced differences in vital (activity) parameters such as heart rate, respiratory rate and activity before and after RBC transfusions in regularly transfused patients using the pinpointIQ* system.- To…
Primary objective: To assess the feasibility of donor screening, collection, production and storage of sufficient CB-RBC products to potentially meet the transfusion need in extremely preterm neonates.
