Why is mixed venous blood sample monitored?
Because that is where all of the venous blood runs through just before it enters the lungs and becomes re-oxygenated. So it is the most mixed up venous blood in the body.
What does a mixed venous blood gas sample drawn from pulmonary artery of 35 indicate?
It depends if the 35 is oxygen 35 mmHg or 35% oxygen saturation. Most likely you mean 35 mmgHg, correlating to a oxygen saturation about 65%, which is around normal. This blood has the lowest oxygen content in the body system. A 35% saturation though is clearly abnormal most likely indicates the body is not getting adequate oxygen.
What is the chemical agent mixed with blood to determine if blood is present?
Luminol is a chemical when mixed with hydrogen peroxide and sprayed on what might be blood. If blood is present, the chemical binds with hemoglobin and blood and causes it to glow.
What is the normal PO2 and PCO2 in mixed venous blood returning to the lungs?
PvO2 = 40mm Hg, PvCO2 = 46mmHg
Why is earthworm blood red?
Earthworms have blood and it is enclosed in a network of tubes much like the blood system of mammals. It is red because it contains the oxygen carrying pigment hemoglobin. Unlike mammals, where the hemoglobin is inside red blood cells, earthworm hemoglobin is just mixed in the liquid of the blood, commonly called hemolymph. Earthworms pump their blood around the body with the help of 5 specialized blood vessels that contract and expand. They are the worm's hearts.
What is saturation of black color?
its the degree of white color mixed to another
When a solid and liquid are mixed and the solid does not dissolve it is known as what?
It's called saturation.
What does the reading for red blood cells mean?
*it is comprises 45% of the blood *most abundant cell in the body *carry99% of oxygen to body tissues and remove carbon dioxide from them *made of water and hemoglobin *hemoglobin gives the red color of the blood *small concave and disk-shaped *becomes crimson red when mixed with oxygen and dark brownish red with carbon dioxide
Why is hemoglobin level more in new borns?
This is a good question! Fetus gets the oxygen from the placenta. In case of the placenta, the blood from the mother and fetus comes in contact with each other. Here both the bloods are not mixed up and separated by thin membrane. Fetus needs very high quantity of the oxygen for the growth. So fetus has got more hemoglobin to extract more oxygen from the blood of mother. After the birth, this extra hemoglobin diminishes with time.
The reaction of water with other substances is known as?
When water is mixed with other liquids it is known as dilution, but when it's mixed with soluble solids it's knows as saturation.
What is a word for mixed-blood?
half blood, dual blood, mixed blooded! ;) Hope this helps!
What is the Sahli - Adam's Method?
The Sahli hemoglobinometer or Adams method is a simple and commonly used method for estimating hemoglobin levels in blood. It involves comparing the color change of a blood sample mixed with a special solution against a standardized color scale to determine the hemoglobin concentration. While it is a cost-effective and portable method, it may not be as accurate as automated hematology analyzers.
