Blood visosity would increase (become thicker) in conditions of dehydration, resulting in decresed blood flow.
(Just think about how when you give blood they recommened drinking a lot of water before. Or if you've ever had food poising or been sick and tried to give blood it's usually difficult, painful, and a slow process.)

What would blood viscosity do when dehyrated?
When dehydrated, blood viscosity increases because there is less water in the bloodstream. This can make blood flow more sluggish, potentially leading to various cardiovascular issues. It's important to stay hydrated to maintain optimal blood viscosity and overall health.
What happens to a patient when the blood of a donor does not correspond with the patient?
the patient will die
What happens to the white blood cell count in an anemic patient?
Nothing happens to the white blood cells in an anemic patient. It is the red blood cell count that goes down.
Factor due to which Viscosity of blood increase?
Blood viscosity is determined by plasma viscosity. Another name for this is hematocrit. Other factors that influence blood viscosity are temperature and fluid levels.
What happens if you donate the wrong blood to a patient?
it will eat the body and have a spasm
What happens if you draw blood from a mastectomy patient?
might cause lymphedema
Which events will tend to cause a decrease in blood viscosity?
Anemia can lead to decrease blood viscosity, which may lead to heart failure. Other factors influencing blood viscosity include temperature, where an increase in temperature results in a decrease in viscosity. This is particularly important in hypothermia, where an increase in blood viscosity will cause problems with blood circulation.
What are blood-viscosity reducing drugs?
Blood-viscosity reducing drugs are medicines that improve blood flow by making the blood less viscous (sticky).
What causes viscosity to increases and decrease?
Blood carries white blood cells, red blood cells, hormones and other substances. Internal friction within in the blood (viscosity) is caused by the percentage of these cells in the blood. A higher percentage of cells in the blood means the viscosity is higher. Red blood cells are the hematocrit. When the hematocrit is decreased such as occurs with anemia, the viscosity of the blood is decreased.
What is the range for viscosity of the blood?
At 37°C (98.6°F) Blood viscosity of a human is about 0.04 dynes/sec2
What happens to blood gases in a patient with emphysema?
Decreased Oxygen, increased CO2, Acidosis
What happens when air bubbles got into the patient's blood system?
if it is big enough they DIE
