Abstract: Red blood cell concentrates are the components of choice to correct severe anemia disorders in which rapid correction is needed, their storage associated with changes in their structure, which could generate alterations in the patient who is transfused. Objective to compare the benefits that exist in the administration of freshly extracted red blood cell concentrates and those stored with lesions. Electronically on the PUBMED platforms with 63 studies, Cochrane with 11, and 9 in the New England Journal of Medicine, it is evident that, during storage for more than 28 days, lesions can occur that alter the function of the red blood cell and that these when administered, they could cause undesirable reactions, especially in the population at risk with associated diseases or major surgical interventions. Although there are few studies, it has been possible to show that there are benefits on the patient's health with the use of red blood cell concentrates stored for less than 28 days, mainly in critically ill patients, increasing survival and improving their quality of life.
