autologous blood transfusion-Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois

This is an autologous blood transfusion procedure used as a research intervention by the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV). The procedure involves the collection, storage, and subsequent re-infusion of a subject's own blood. In the context of the specific clinical study (NCT04014153), the blood is stored in specialized DEHP-free blood bags containing alternative plasticizers like n-butyryl-tri-(n-hexyl)-citrate (BTHC). The primary objective of this research is to identify biomarkers in various matrices (blood, urine) that can detect autologous blood transfusions for anti-doping purposes, particularly when traditional markers like DEHP metabolites are absent due to the use of DEHP-free storage materials.
