English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Blood
  • Bioengineering
OBS

Hematology analyzers are also called cell counters as they are used to make a complete blood count(CBC) including red blood cell(RBC), white blood cell(WBC), hemoglobin, and platelet counts, as well as hematocrit levels and many other parameters.... The difference between a 3-part differential cell counter and 5-part cell counter is that a 3-part cell counter reports only 3 types of WBCs(neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes) while a 5-part can differentiate all WBC types(neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes).

CONT

Ce compte rendu indique qu'en présence d'une sténose modérée des artères coronariennes, il se peut que le débit n'augmente pas suffisamment pour compenser la perte de capacité oxyphorique causée par l'hémodilution et qu'une réduction même modeste de la concentration d'hémoglobine [Hb] puisse entraîner une ischémie avec dysfonction cardiaque. Il se peut également que les patients porteurs de sténose importante ou dont la fonction ventriculaire gauche est déjà déficiente ne tolèrent aucune hémodilution.

L'hémorragie post-partum (HPP) est une des causes principales de morbidité et de mortalité maternelles dans les pays industrialisés. On peut classer l'HPP en deux catégories: 1) HPP précoce (premières 24 heures du post-partum); et 2) HPP tardive (plus de 24 heures et moins de 6 semaines après l'accouchement. [...] Les pertes sanguines moyennes normales sont de 500mL pour un accouchement vaginal et de 1000 mL pour une césarienne. L'HPP peut être définie comme des pertes sanguines qui dépassent ces valeurs, toute quantité de sang qui cause une instabilité hémodynamique ou une diminution de 10 % de l'hématocrite.

CONT

Le volume globulaire moyen est le rapport entre l'hématocrite et le nombre de globules rouges : VGM = hématocrite [multiplié par] 10/nombre de globules rouges par mm3. Le VGM est donc exprimé en femto/litre qui est une unité de volume. Le VGM est la moyenne du volume des globules rouges.
