BACKGROUND: Compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) is a novel noninvasive monitoring technology designed to assess physiologic reserve using feature interrogation of arterial pulse waveforms. This study was conducted to validate clinically relevant C...
Blood supply managers in the blood supply chain have always sought to create enough reserves to increase access to different blood products and reduce the mortality rate resulting from expired blood. Managers' adequate and timely response to their cu...
