NEW SERUM IS PROVED SUCCESSFUL Dr. 0. McFarland of Louisiana, a Producer A Former Hebronite Saves Matching Blood With That of Donor New Orleans, April 24-Discovery of a serum that produces quicker and more desirable results in transfusions than real blood was announced here today by two Louisiana physicians, one of them son-in-law of the late Huey P. Long. The serum described to in a paper by W.
Mcthe Louisiana "Medical society Farland, superintendent of the Huey Long hospital at Pineville, and Dr. John H. Connell, head of the institution's department of pathology, Mr. McFarland husband of the former Miss Rose Long. It is claimed the serum can be administered.
at once, without necessity of matching the patient's blood with that of a donor, or of taking Wasserman and other tests. In Use Already Another advantage claimed was that the serum can be kept in a refrigerator for at least a year without, loss of efficiency. The doctors said, the serum had been used for five months at Pineville with 100 results. They reported, another experimenter, working independently, had recently announced the same results in As explained by Cr. Connell, who is also assistant professor of pathology at Louisiana State univerity, the serum, or plasma, is obtained from whole blood by removal of the red cells.
The paper cited as advantages of the serum over whole blood: "The establishment and maintenance of a serum or plasma bank is not attended with great difficulty or cost. The technique 1S relatively He simple and is OIL not beset with the pitfalls of a blood bank." The paper explained that blood is drawn as in the usual manner fro an indirect transfusion, and is kept in containers for 24 hours. The serum or plasma content is then removed by suction. Kept in Refrigerator "This is then placed in the icebox and is ready for immediate use." the doctors said. "In pooled human serum, typing and matching is unnecessary, and the immediate use with the serum still cold has never given adverse reactions." The paper declared patients needing transfusions do quire red blood cells, but need "the vehicular agents to support the hemogoblin." The doctors expressed the opinion that use of blood serum "will be a potent medical instrument in times of disaster and war."
