Objective Unexpectedly wide distribution (90%) of hemoglobin oxygen saturation (sO2) within red cell concentrates (RCCs) has recently been observed. Causes of such variability are not yet completely explained whereas the roles of oxygen and oxidative lesions during the storage of RCCs are known. The objectives of the present study are to characterize sO2 distribution in RCCs produced in a Swiss blood center and to investigate the influence of processing and donors' characteristics. Methods The level of sO2 was measured in 1701 l
