The Need for an Artificial Oxygen Carrier for Disasters and Pandemics, Including COVID‐19	2020-09-26		.txt	text/plain	3201	201	53	There are extensive, largely efficient, blood collection and banking systems in developed countries that ordinarily provide stored red cells (at 2-6 C) for these functions, despite relatively brief periods of local or national shortages. 11 b The nuclear disaster at Chernobyl [15] [16] [17] [18] was an operator-and design caused steam explosion followed by a fire and a nine-to-ten day release of a substantial quantity of radioactive material with resultant many long-term medical issues including bone marrow suppression, but with relatively lesser immediate transfusion need, with two deaths in the first 5 hours, and apparently 31 in the first three days, predominantly from burns. Dried plasma is produced in Germany, France, and South Africa, with limited availability of these products outside these countries; a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) is approved for use in South Africa and Russia.	./cache/cord-317383-uqg0xwdw.txt	./txt/cord-317383-uqg0xwdw.txt
