Abstract

A family of compounds has been found to be useful for right-shifting hemoglobin towards a low oxygen affinity state. The effect has particular application in a wide variety of treatments including hypoxia, hypothermia, ischemia, stroke, ARDS, COPD, surgical blood loss, acute nonvolemic hemodilutions, wounds, diabetic ulcers, chronic leg ulcers, pressure sores, tissue transplants, and sepsis. The compounds are capable of acting on hemoglobin in whole blood.
