ABSTRACTThe effect of in vitro exposure of normal human erythrocytes to temperatures between 41°C and 43°C for two hours was determined. In vivo survival was measured employing51Cr and14C‐cyanate as red cell tags. No significant difference was observed between cells exposed to these temperatures and erythrocytes incubated at 37°C. The results of this study are of value in various types of extracorporeal blood treatment where an elevated temperature is des
