Cosmic Blood Flow: Transfusion Challenges beyond Earth

Someday people will be stationed on the Moon and on Mars. Have you wondered how urgent transfusions would occur? The donor? The actual flow of red cells into the recipient? What do we know about hematopoeisis during long term space residence? What are the ethical considerations in an urgent event? What other health risks are there to consider such as radiation exposure and solar flares? All of this and more will be presented during the QuidelOrtho Workshop and breakfast.

Speakers:
COL (Ret.) Dr. Andrew Cap, MS, MD, PhD
Dr. Barbara Bryant
