One unit of red blood cells typically raises the hemoglobin level by about 1 gram per deciliter.
Hemoglobin molcules account for more than 95 percent of Erythrocyte's proteins. There are approx. 280 million moleules of hemoglobin in each RBC. hemoglobin also carries about 23 percent of carbon dioxide transposted in the blood.. And the bindings of amino acids to carbon dioxide or globin subunits is reversable
The mean Hgb increment closely approximated 1 g/dL. There was a wide variation among the patients, females experienced a greater Hgb increase than males. Allogeneic units increased Hgb more than autologous units. -Laso-
One unit of packed red blood cells typically raises hemoglobin (Hgb) levels by approximately 1 g/dL in an average adult. For a 19 kg person, this increase may be somewhat less due to their smaller blood volume. Generally, you can expect an increase of about 2-3 g/dL in Hgb after one unit transfusion, but individual responses may vary based on factors like the patient's overall health and blood volume.

Hemoglobin is composed of 4 protein subunits and a iron (heme) unit in the center. Imagine a four leaf clover with the iron being the stem.
The four main components derived from a unit of blood are red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and white blood cells. These components serve different purposes in the body and can be separated and used for various medical treatments and transfusions.

Red blood cells (RBCs) are the oxygen-carrying cells in circulation in the body. RBCs contain the molecule hemoglobin that can bind oxygen (O2) and transport it all over the body. Anemia is lack of sufficient RBCs (and hemoglobin) to carry enough O2. You get tired easily, have muscle weakness, and your heart struggles. Your bone marrow will produce more RBCs that need more hemoglobin to fill them. Hemoglobin has iron in the center that binds to the O2. So you need RBC production from the bone marrow and iron intake from the diet to produce more O2-carrying capacity. This causes your RBC count, the number of RBCs in circulation per unit volume, to increase. RBC count is called the Red Cell Count (RCC). RCC in cells/femtoliter = hematocrit divided by mean corpuscular volume in femtoliters per cell.

A 70 years old client is admitted to the hospital with lower GI bleeding. His hemoglobin on admission is 7 g/dl. The doctor orders 2 units of packed red blood cells to infuse over 2 hours each. The blood administration set has a drip factors of 10gtt/ml. How much flow rate should you regulate the blood?
