The influence of surface rugosity on haemolysis occurring in tubing

Haemolysis was measured in three tubes of the same chemical composition but differing surface texture. It was found that during the first hour of pumping the increase in haemolysis in both human transfusion blood and fresh cattle blood was greatest in the roughest tubes. When pumping of blood was co...

Summary:Haemolysis was measured in three tubes of the same chemical composition but differing surface texture. It was found that during the first hour of pumping the increase in haemolysis in both human transfusion blood and fresh cattle blood was greatest in the roughest tubes. When pumping of blood was continued for longer periods the rate of further haemolysis increase was equal in all tubes.
