That idea was held until a few hundred years ago. When a patient was sick with
certain kinds of ailments, doctors would "bleed" the patient, presumably to drain
some of whatever was in him that was making him sick.
Near the end of George Washington's life, he was weak and sinking, and doctors
'bled' him. When it didn't seem to help much, they bled him again, and I believe
they eventually bled him a third and maybe even a fourth time, until the effect
was clear ... he died.
There are procedures in modern medicine where some blood is removed.
Nowadays, it can be blood taken out of a healthy person, and used to replace
blood lost by someone else, either during surgery, or as the result of a violent
injury. Or a person may 'bank' his own blood for use during his own surgery.
But it's never taken out on account of 'too much blood', or to let something
out of a patient that's making him sick.

When blood volume decreases does blood pressure increase?
Yes, when blood volume decreases, the blood pressure tends to increase. This is because a lower volume of blood circulating in the blood vessels leads to a higher force exerted on the vessel walls, resulting in an increase in blood pressure.
Is plasma volume the same as blood volume?
No, plasma volume is a component of blood volume. Blood volume includes both plasma (the liquid component of blood) and cellular components (such as red and white blood cells and platelets). Plasma volume constitutes about 55% of total blood volume.
Why does dehydration result in a raised red blood cell concentration?
Dehydration leads to a decrease in blood volume, causing the red blood cell concentration to appear higher than usual. This is because the same number of red blood cells are present in a smaller volume of blood.
True or flase Plasma is 45 percent of blood volume?
Could be true for some people because there is always a range when it comes to biology, people are all different. But, usually plasma makes up about 50% of blood volume for men and about 60% of blood volume for women.
What is made up of organs that rid your body of wastes and control blood volume?
The urinary system consists of organs such as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter blood to remove waste and excess fluids, forming urine which is then stored in the bladder before being eliminated from the body. This system helps regulate blood volume and remove metabolic waste products.
Why do the doctors ask you to take a stress test when you are pregnant?
because when you are pregnant your blood volume doubles so its to see if your heart can handle the extra workload.
How do doctors check how much blood you have in your body?
Doctors don't check how much blood you have in your body. They do a best guesstimate based on size and weight. Some lab tests check the relative and absolute numbers of blood cells per unit volume.
Why diid the doctors in medieval times ues leaches to suck the blood?
They thought there were "vapers" in the blood so they used leaches to remove them.
What did the doctors use to bleed the patients from the fever?
Leeches were and, perhaps, are still used to remove infected blood.
Why packed cells volume higher in venous than arterial?
This situation happen because VOLUME OF RBCs in venous blood is high. The volume is increased from arterial blood to venous blood because chloride shift that occurred;relate with increase of carbon dioxide in blood.
Why do doctors recommended blood transfusion when therre is severe hemorrhage?
The doctor will recommend a blood transfusion in the event of severe hemorrhage to replace the blood and plasma lost. It is essential that an adequate blood volume is maintained.
Why does an increase in blood volume result in a decrease in blood pressure?
It doesn't. The opposite is true. Blood pressure is proportional to blood volume. The greater the blood volume is, the higher the blood pressure will be. This is because there will be a greater volume of blood flowing through the blood vessels which means that a greater pressure will be exerted on the walls of the blood vessels, which means increased blood pressure.
When blood volume decreases does blood pressure increase?
Yes, when blood volume decreases, the blood pressure tends to increase. This is because a lower volume of blood circulating in the blood vessels leads to a higher force exerted on the vessel walls, resulting in an increase in blood pressure.
Do people who weigh more have more blood volume?
People who weigh more do not normally have more blood volume. This is because what makes people overweight is fat not blood.
Do you have to worry if you have a blood clot?
