At the outbreak of World War II, work was initiated in the Department of Biochemistry at McGill University, under the direction of Dr. O. F. Denstedt, on a study of the means whereby the then existing methods of blood preservation might be improved. Similar investigations were undertaken in many other laboratories throughout the world, particularly in the United States and Great Britain. The availability of blood and plasma for prompt treatment of the wounded at the fighting front accounted for the tremendous saving of lives in World War II as compared with World War I.
