AB  - The  volume  of  a  unit  of  blood  is  approximately  1  pint  (450-500  mL).  Units  of  blood  collected  from  donors  are  separated  into  multiple  components,  such  as  packed  red  blood  cells,  platelets,  and  plasma.  Red  blood  cells  may  be  stored  for  a  maximum  of  42  days.  Older  blood  is  less  effective.  It  has  been  clear  for  some  time  that  stored  blood  degrades  before  the  42-day  limit,  and  some  research  suggests  that  this  degradation  may  be  harmful  to  patients  who  receive  older  blood.  In  fact,  75%  of  red  blood  cells  should  survive  posttransfusion  to  be  classified  as  a  successful  transfusion.
