This study aims to investigate the effects of hypoxically stored Red Blood Cells (RBCs) in a rat model of traumatic brain injury followed by severe hemorrhagic shock (HS) and resuscitation. RBCs were made hypoxic using an O2 depletion system (Hemanext Inc. Lexington, MA) and stored for 3 weeks. Experimental animals underwent craniotomy and blunt brain injury followed by severe HS. Rats were resuscitated with either fresh RBCs (FRBCs), 3-week-old hypoxically stored RBCs (HRBCs), or 3-week-old conventionally stored RBCs (CRBCs). Resuscitation was provided via RBCs transfusion equivalent to 70 % of the shed blood and animals were followed for 2 h. The control group was comprised of healthy animals that were not instrumented or injured. Post-resuscitation hemodynamics and lactate levels were improved with FRBCs and HRBCs, and markers of organ injury in the liver (Aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), lung (chemokine ligand 1 [CXCL-1] and Leukocytes count), and heart (cardiac troponin, Interleukin- 6 [IL-6] and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha[TNF-α]) were lower with FRBCs and HRBCs resuscitation compared to CRBCs. Following reperfusion, biomarkers for oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and RNA/DNA injury were assessed. Superoxide dismutase [SOD] levels in the HRBCs group were similar to the FRBCs group and levels in both groups were significantly higher than CRBCs. Catalase levels were not different than control values in the FRBCs and HRBCs groups but significantly lower with CRBCs. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [Tbars] levels were higher for both CRBCs and HRBCs. Hypoxically stored RBCs show few differences from fresh RBCs in resuscitation from TBI + HS and decreased organ injury and oxidative stress compared to conventionally stored RBCs.
