Talk:Blood substitutes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can theathrical blood really be called artificial blood? I'd hope that I'd be a better writer so I could correct that without asking anyone. Santtus 22:39, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
I agree, I think that this category "theatrical blood" be taken out of this entry. Shireesh P Apte.
The section about theatrical fake blood has been removed. It didn't belong in this article and wasn't very informative anyway.

[edit] Advantages of Substitutes
6. Transfused blood is currently more cost effective, but there are many reasons to believe this may change. The cost of blood substitutes will fall as manufacturing becomes refined. At the same time the cost of transfused blood will only increase as further tests are administered to ensure a safe blood supply.
Does the last sentence really need to be in there? While more testing may very well increase costs, what about advances in current testing making them cheaper or more comprehensive testing so one test can check for a greater variety of diseases/problems? It's not a big deal, but I don't think it adds anything to the advantages for using substitutes. (SSJPabs 08:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)=SSJPabs)
[edit] Article re-written
I've re-written the article to remove some inaccuracies, improve formatting and add updated information. Joema 18:15, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling changes
This regards my rv of the spelling changes by 137.205.29.13. Nothing wrong with British spelling, but it should be consistent within an article, not mixed. Below are the Wikipedia guidelines on this. Joema 13:31, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bloodless surgery
We need an article on bloodless surgery as this is becoming more and more common. Bloodless medicine in general encompases these two topics already and should have its own article as well. George 19:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oxycyte
Why isn't there a seperate article on this? I search for it, and I get redirected here. That shouldn't happen, as I didn't search for general information on blood substitutes, I searched for a specific one.
Look on the company's website Synthetic blood international or there's a current article on the popsci web page
