Blood

Isotonic means that the solution is equal to the tonicity (and/or osmolarity) of the part of the body you are administering it in. In simple terms, this means that the solutes of the drug/solution equals the solutes of the blood, eye, ear, etc. For example, the eye has a different tonicity and osmolarity than the blood, thus you must account for this when administering a medication.

It is important to make sure the solution is isotonic for the comfort of the patient and to prevent tissue damage. If the tonicity doesn't match, it can be very painful because the cells may be exposed to too much or too little solute, thus water will be exchanged very rapidly and could cause cell damage.

Hematocrit is a measure of the proportion of blood volume that is composed of red blood cells. A low hematocrit level can indicate anemia or other medical conditions, suggesting a lower than normal red blood cell count. Therefore, while hematocrit itself is not a "blood count," a low hematocrit level typically reflects a low red blood cell count.

I have just been told by my new physician that my iron count in 450. He is contacting a hospital to start my treatment. How serious is this count?

The lungs supplies the bloodstream with oxygen. When we breathe in, out lungs fill with oxygen and that oxygen is taken to the heart to keep our body going.

Having a low blood count means your blood is low on one of it's cell types. The symptoms are different depending on which, for example a low red cell count makes you anaemic and a low white cell count makes your immunity system drop.

It can be the common thing in cancer patients. It would be better for low platelet count patient to eat green vegetables and food which generates blood. If you infuse the platelet bag, then try to get the platelets of the same blood group. Like if your patient is having B+ blood, then donor should be having B+ blood. Try to infuse the platelet of family blood like if your father is suffering from this thing, then son should give platelets to him. That will definitely increase the time for next bag infusion.

These are called lymph nodes. Some people call them lymph glands but that is an incorrect term. They are a part of the lymphatic system, a component of the body's immune system. Swollen lymph nodes may signal an infection.

Try to avoid sugary and cold foods this increases blood flow stick to healthy choices no sugary foods.

Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs) are incredibly useful to a number of different physicians.

The results tell us the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the patient's blood stream, as well as how acidic or alkali the blood is and how the body is responding to abnormal changes in acidity.

For example, in an emergency setting, we might want to know how a person's asthma attack is affecting their body's ability to carry oxygen around the body. In patient's that have taken an overdose, we will probably want to know what effect that poison has had on the acidity of their blood.

We also use this test to monitor the progress of patients over time. So with our asthmatic patient, they might present to the hospital wheezy and short of breath, but their ABG initially might 'just' show slightly reduced oxygen levels. However, as they begin to tire out, they become less able to blow off carbon dioxide, and the levels of CO2 will begin to rise. This is an extremely worrying sign, and may mean that the patient will need to be sedated and hooked up to a machine that can breathe for them (a ventilator).

ABGs are also useful in 'chronic' patients. Those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (smoker's lung disease) may become 'CO2 retainers'. This means that their body has become 'used to' not having normal oxygen levels and has compensated by running on lower oxygen. This has implications for these patients, because it means we generally can't put them on 100% oxygen (the type we normally prescribe in most cases). This is because these new 'high' oxygen levels will switch off the patient's drive to breath and they can, in theory, lose the impulse to breath all together.

So the ABG is really useful, and one of the more frequently used blood tests in a hospital setting. It's also cheap, easy-ish to obtain, and readily available.

White cells exist to destroy bacteria, and 'low' doesn't mean bad. There should not be white blood cells in urine or Complete Blood Count. If a person or dog has good health, and has never had to fight diseases, the white cell count has no reason to increase and will remain low. When infection or allergy occurs, white blood cells increase. In urinary infection, there may be WBCs in the urine. Once antibiotics are started, WBC counts drop, e.g. they return to the normal baseline of zero to few present.

Only in cancers and HIV do WBC soar. Treatments are aimed at reducing WBC counts.

NOTE: Red Blood Cells are a different story. RBC should be present, and within normal limits. Low RBC can indicate anemia or even just dehydration.

Blood spurted everywhere. I was quickly passing out. I couldn't take much more of the pain, but before I blacked out I said to Jimmy "Don't let him go for my sake."

Once the vaginal blood comes in contact with the air, it is not uncomman for the blood to turn black. It is a process knowen as oxidation. ANSWER I have no idea about why it is black but when blood comes in contact with oxygen it becomes brighter red

In a sense, you are both kind of right. In red blood, iron is highly oxygenated. It is in its Iron(III) oxidation state, which is red. When Iron is reduced (oxygen taken away), it becomes Iron(II), which is black. This is usually due to breakdown of red blood cells. In this case, the blood within the uterus (womb) has been sitting there for a few hours before being expelled, and has broken down, causing the RBC iron to be reduced. This may be due to uterine contractions not being strong enough, or temporary blockage of the cervix.

The plasma in the blood is a pale watery liquid in which the red and white blood cells and platelets are suspended. It carries digested food,carbon dioxide and other materials.

A centrifuge is used to separate the solid and liquid parts of blood.

Blood alcohol level is the percentage of alcohol in the blood, so technically, no, the B/A level is not affected by volume. Practically, however, Dinking the same amounts, a larger person will have a lower B/A level than a smaller person, due to the difference in amounts of blood in the body.

Infection is the reason for a WBC. Be it asthmatic bronchitis or not.

Asthma alone won't do it. That's not an infection.

The normal levels of serum potassium are 3.5-5.0 mM

blood is important to our bodies because it keeps us warm and our boodies have to be warm or we get hypothermia or even frostbite. but blood is most important because the hemoglobin in it carries the oxygen to our brainand organs.

Their are actually a few different types of blood a human can have. These are the different types: - A - B - AB - O Information Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system
