How do you determine the corresponding blood type and antibody(ies) that would be present in the plasma? Describe how to do a hematocrit test. What are the average hematocrit values for males and females? How is blood unique among connective tissues?
Changes in the hematocrit affect the movement of blood through the body. Describe how increases and decreases in the hematocrit affect the function of the heart and the ability to transport oxygen to the tissues. Does the hematocrit increase or decrease if you have Anemia? What is the a...

The total number of transfusions ranged from one to six per patient. The aim at each procedure was to achieve a final hematocrit of 35-50%. Factors examined as likely to determine the volume of blood required included pre-transfusion hematocrit, post-minus pre-transfusion hematocrit (hematocrit...
Simple transfusion in sickle cell syndromes raises the hematocrit (Hct), while still large proportions of cells with sickling potential are in the circulation, with a dangerous increase in blood viscosity. In certain life-threatening situations, exchange transfusion is the only means to rapidly decrea...
