Is there any blood substitute?
If you meant "is it possible to exchange all the blood with any substitute?" - then "no. that's impossible".
But probably you didn't mean that - would be crazy.
If your looking for some substance to substitute blood during a surgery, i.e. to avoid blood transfusion (as it is always a risky thing)... then yes. High tech hospitals are already doing surgeries without real blood. The problem is the quantity that can be substituted by the specific substances... density, osmolarity... (they check those properties).
So... please check some medical information sites or whatever... I know it exists for sure... those hospitals are really modern (and maybe very few). But don't let anyone tell you there wouldn't be any at all... there has been an international special medical convention in Geneva (Switzerland) about surgeries without blood and blood substitutes. Good luck.

Answer: Some of the Methods
Fluids: Ringer's lactate solution, dextran, hydroxyethyl starch, and others are used to maintain blood volume, preventing hypovolemic shock. Some fluids now being tested can transport oxygen.
Drugs: Genetically engineered proteins can stimulate the production of red blood cells (erythropoietin), blood platelets (interleukin-11), and various white blood cells (GM-CSF, G-CSF). Other medications greatly reduce blood loss during surgery (aprotinin, antifibrinolytics) or help to reduce acute bleeding (desmopressin).
Biological hemostats: Collagen and cellulose woven pads are used to stop bleeding by direct application. Fibrin glues and sealants can plug puncture wounds or cover large areas of bleeding tissue.
Blood salvage: Salvaging machines recover blood that is lost during surgery or trauma. The blood is cleansed and can be returned to the patient in a closed circuit. In extreme cases, liters of blood can be recovered using such a system.
Surgical tools: Some devices cut and seal blood vessels simultaneously. Other devices can seal bleeding on large areas of tissue. Laparoscopic and minimally invasive instruments allow surgeries to be performed without the blood loss associated with large incisions.
Surgical techniques: Thorough operative planning, including consultation with experienced clinicians, helps the surgical team to avoid complications. Prompt action to stop bleeding is essential. Delays greater than 24 hours can greatly increase patient mortality. Dividing large surgeries into several smaller ones decreases total blood loss.
You can find much information on Jehovah's Witnesses official website. Working with Jehovah's Witnesses, many hospitals all over the country have developed a Bloodless Medicine Program and Department. Englewood Hospital snd Medical Center, Englewood, New Jersey is the frontrunner.
If mother is o negative and if father is b positive could baby have a positive?
Definitely. One Rh positive parent is at least 50% likely to produce Rh positive offspring.
Can a dad with B blood have an o- child?
Yes.
Everyone has two genes actually for blood type, but only the dominant one is expressed.
A and B are dominant over O.
Thus, if you are AA or AO, your blood type is A. If you are BB or BO, your blood type is B.
Because A and B are coequal, if your genes are AB, then your blood type is the (rare) type AB.
The only way you can be blood type O is if you have OO.
If a parent with the genes AO (blood type A) has a child with someone with the genes BO (blood type B), then the baby could get one O from each parent and thus be OO.

What are the nursing considerations before doing a random blood sugar test?
it is done in the morning with no breakfast that day.
Do you have to fast for a GFR test?
No, you don't need to fast for the GFR, but there are usually other tests completed with the GFR that require fasting. Check with your health care provider for information specific to your situation.
Will a 10mg percocet show up 5 days later in urine test?
Yes it can it stays in your system for approximately 2 weeks
What does High levels creatinine in drug screen mean?
Hi levels of creatinine probably show that you are eiter dehydrated or in kidney failure. If you are using drugs. ...??? Anything is possible... Think about the rest of your life on dialysis...Hows that party???
How do you treat lichen simplex chronicus?
Fluocinonide. I have itched and scratched for months, visited two dermotoligist, and in about 4 weeks of heavy treatment I'm 95% itch free. This is the strogest steroid ointment you can get. Listen to your doctors intructions for use.
Which is more useful mri or eeg?
An EEG is for measuring the electrical activity of the brain and how it responds to stimuli. An MRI scan is more like an x-ray. It is for examining the physical structure of parts of the body. There is no saying which is more correct as they are measuring different things.
Is o positive a rare type of blood?
Roughly 7% of the population has blood type O negative. The odds of receiving the wrong blood type during a transfusion are pretty rare - only about 1 in every 14,000 transfusions. Basically, your body's immune system can attack the cells in the transfused blood, destroying the red cells or platelets within the transfused blood. Reactions can vary from mild to severe and may include fever and chills.
High red and white blood count?
More than likely it's a kidney infection. The doctor will give you an antibiotic if that is the case.
Are all babies born with type o negative blood?
Yes.
In fact, the chances of a mother having an O negative child are better if she is O negative herself, and even better with an O negative father.
I'm not well read on the Rhesus factor (-ve or +ve part of the blood type), but the A, B, O classification of blood type is a fairly simple concept.
Everybody has 2 alleles for blood type (1 from their mother, and the other from their father), which account for the genotype of the individual. Both A & B are dominant to O, and co-dominant (i.e. both are expressed) to each other - that's why we get the AB blood type.
So if the 2 alleles are filled with, for instance, an A & an O (AO), the individual will be phenotypically (what can be seen/tested) A. Similarly, an individual with a B & an O allele (BO) will be B.
But in order for someone to be in the O blood type groupwe know that both alleles must be filled with O (i.e. OO).
Gametes (sperm/ovaries) only contain one of the alleles from the parent. If both parents have the O blood group (OO), no matter which of the 2 alleles the egg and sperm contain, the child will be O as well (as there is no choice in alleles - option 1. O ALSO option 2. O).
However, and this is where it gets complicated, it is possible for a couple who are A or B to conceive a O blood type child, provided both parents are heterozygous (i.e. AO, or BO), and therefore able to create gametes with the O allele - though the chances are 3:1 against it.
AB is the only blood type where it is impossible to have a child with the O blood type. If either parent is AB, there is no chance of both the child's alleles being filled the O allele. Only exception to this rule is Bombay syndrome, but that's another story.
Does Ritalin show up in your urine drug test?
It depends on what urine is being tested for. Ritalin is detected in a intense Urine testing stage. For example The military does a full urine test of all drugs including Ritalin and Adderall to see if you are using it illegally or you are currently taking it just in case you did not reveal to your military personnel that you are taking it.
So overall yes it can be detected in urine but depends on how far the person conducting the test will detect the Ritalin at. This will cost more to perform since an overdose of Ritalin will not be detected still since it will be below the 450 count limit because Ritalin is not a strong control subsistance to detect compare to crack or cocaine. But don't get my wrong. I've passed just fine on most jobs. Also it depends how fast your body gets rid of it during the day so that's another reason why it can't be detected in the common urine tests today.
Some jobs do use new technology to detect Ritalin without going further into testing but this is not used much due to being a controversial issue of violating your medical rights to use it since it is against the Equal Rights act of your ADD Disability to use Ritalin if your prescribed to use it and they determine that you are using it or abusing it. So this is why it hasn't been showing up on your urine test radar levels.
So overall the answer is yes it can be detected but not in most common urine testing except for military drug testing and mostly intense testing for people who are on probation, which I was told that it doesnt get detected on that either.
This is probably the best answer because its actually a 75/25 chance to detect it depending on what your getting tested for. Mostly for most common things, I say no but with military testing and others I have to say yes since I've seen people get discharged due to abusing Ritalin while not be on it.
Overall Conclusion:
Military it will be detected at 100% and most job places are actually not be able to detect it unless they perform further testing or have new urine testing technology to detect it.
So In technical terms yes it can be detected. Common terms No. So 75% no 25% yes
An SGPT test is a test which determines if the liver is damaged or diseased. It measure the levels of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in blood.
Why might a double-blind study yield more reliable results than a single-blind study?
In single blind studies, the experimenter (or observer) is aware of who or what belongs to the control group and the experimental group.
In double blind studies, the experimenter is not aware of who/what belongs to which group. This is to eliminate the subjective bias an experimenter may have.
Does calcitonin cause a decrease in blood calcium ion levels?
The hormone Calcitonin has the effect of reducing blood calcium levels. The hormone comes from the thyroid gland and works in basically three ways.
1. It works to slow absorption of calcium by the intestine.
2. It also inhibits the osteoclast (cells in bone that break down old bone tissue) that raise blood calcium levels.
3. It causes osteoblast (cells in bone that lay down new bone matrix) to form new bone.
This explanation is at it's simplest form of course.
Abnormally high AFP may indicate that the fetus has an increased risk of a neural tube defect, the most common and severe type of disorder associated with increased AFP.
Fasting blood sugar is a medical test that measures the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood after an overnight fast. This test is usually performed in the morning before you have eaten anything and is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes, a condition in which the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels.
A normal fasting blood sugar level is typically between 70 and 100 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) or 3.9 and 5.5 mmol/L (millimoles per liter). A level between 100 and 125 mg/dL or 5.6 and 6.9 mmol/L is considered prediabetes, while a level of 126 mg/dL or 7.0 mmol/L or higher indicates diabetes.
Fasting blood sugar is usually measured through a simple blood test, which involves drawing a sample of blood from a vein in your arm. The test is quick and relatively painless, and it is an important tool for managing and preventing diabetes-related complications.

Do regular jobs test for steroids?
If they were actually looking for it, then yes it would show. I think they mainly just test for narcotics. Tho steroids can and do change your mental state, aggression for one, I don't believe they check for it. I am basing this on Canada tho, anywhere else in the world I would not know. Unless of course you work in sports as an athlete, then you are definitely tested.
How long will alcohol be present in urine?
as long as the person still have his or her drinking habit.
Will alcohol effect a thyroid blood test?
If you are taking thyroid medication, there are certain things that can affect how your medication gets absorbed by your body; which could affect the outcome of your blood test. Prescribed thyroid medication will state on the bottle the proper way to take it. Typically it will say on the bottle to take one tablet in the morning, on an empty stomach, with plenty of water. It is important to take it with water, and on an empty stomach, because it will allow the thyroid medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream. It is best to wait at least 30 minutes before eating food. If you eat immediately after taking your thyroid medication, drink coffee, drink alcohol, or even add Metamusil to your water, this can affect the overall effectiveness of your thyroid medication.
Talk with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your diet, and how it might affect the outcome of your thyroid blood test.
