An improvcd method for intermittent-flow erythrocytapheresis in patients with sickle cell disease is reported. The method. a modification of the standard red cell exchange procedure for the Haemonetics 30s unit, dilutes with physiologic saline the patient's blood as i ! flows from the draw line and
## Background: Red blood cells (rbcs) have to deform markedly to pass through the smallest capillaries of the microcirculation. techniques for measuring rbc deformability often result in an indication of the mean value. a deformability distribution would be more useful for studying diseases that ar
