Packed Red Blood Cells, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Packed red blood cells (PRBCs), also called "packed cells," are a preparation of red blood cells that are transfused to correct low blood levels in anemic patients. This increases the amount of hemoglobin in the blood that can carry oxygen perfused from alveoli of the lungs to tissues. One unit of PRBCs typically will raise the hematocrit by 3-4% and the blood hemoglobin concentration by 1 gm / dl. PRBCs last in refrigeration for up to 42 days, but under the right conditions they can be frozen for up to a decade.
