Cadavers served as another source of blood during the 1930s and later. Most of this work was done by Yudin [23] in the USSR. Following death, the blood was allowed to clot, but the clots lysed by normally appearing fibrinolytic enzymes, leaving liquid defibrinated blood.

The use of cadaver blood in the Soviet Union received much publicity and was believed by many to be the major source of transfusion blood there. Actually, not many more than 40,000 200‐mL units were used, and most of them at Yudin’s Institute [1]. In 1967, the procedure was quite complicated, involving the use of an operating room, a well‐trained staff, and extensive laboratory studies. This was never a practical or extensive source of blood.
