Blood transfusion is often used to treat patients with Anemia. The period of storage of blood products prior to use for transfusion may vary. Prolonged storage of blood products may result in changing their biochemistry.
This study aims to look into whether the transfusion of "old" blood, which is stored for more than 7 days, as compared to the transfusion of "Fresh" blood, which is stored for less than 7 days, will affect endothelial function.
Endothelial function assessed pre and post transfusion. The EndoPAT uses a unique bio-sensors that are placed on the fingertips to measure pressure. The test takes about 20-25 minutes. During the procedure the participant will have biosensors placed on the index finger of each hand. The nondominant arm will have a blood pressure cuff applied with sufficient pressure for five minutes. At the end of the test the device will provide a reading that assesses the level of endothelial function/dysfunction.

| Endothelial function | The function of the blood vessels will be assessed with the EndoPAT device. This test is done 15 minutes prior to the transfusion and again 30 minutes post the transfusion. Patients that will receive both fresh and old blood will be included. | Change in endothelial function compared to baseline. Test is done 15 minutes prior to transfusion and 30 minutes post blood transfusion. The test is repeated when patient received another blood transfusion. The results of the change are compared. |
