Simple paper-based test for measuring blood hemoglobin concentration in resource-limited settings.
BACKGROUND The measurement of hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) is performed routinely as a part of a complete blood cell count to evaluate the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Devices currently available to physicians and clinical laboratories for measuring [Hb] are accurate, operate on small samples, and provide results rapidly, but may be prohibitively expensive for resource-limited settings...
متن کاملResuscitation in resource-limited settings.
Intrapartum-related hypoxia leading to deaths and disabilities continues to be a global challenge, especially in resource-limited settings. Primary prevention during labour is likely to have a significant impact, but secondary prevention with focus on immediate basic stabilization at birth can effectively reduce a large proportion of these adverse outcomes as demonstrated in the resource-rich s...
متن کاملa simple rapid procedure for hemoglobin electrophoresis using a drop of dried blood on filter paper
a simple, rapid new technique is described for the electrophoresis of hemoglobin when screening large human populations. the method uses a drop of finger tip's blood dried on a thick filter paper as the specimen. the simplicity of the sampling, tagging, transportation and electrophoresis, provides a reliable procedure for surveys of large population. in our hand 200 specimens were screened dur...
متن کاملAnalytic Biosurveillance Methods for Resource-Limited Settings
Background The 21st century has seen advances in many aspects of global disease surveillance.1 These advances have been driven by heightened concerns over perceived threats to public health both from natural pathogens and from bioterrorism. These concerns have led to mandated improvements at the international level, through revision of International Health Regulations of the World Health Organi...
متن کاملMeasuring Post-Partum Hemorrhage In Low-Resource Settings: The Diagnostic Validity Of Weighted Blood Loss Versus Quantitative Changes In Hemoglobin.
BACKGROUND Accurate estimation of blood loss is central to prompt diagnosis and management of post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), which remains a leading cause of maternal mortality in low-resource countries. In such settings, blood loss is often estimated visually and subjectively by attending health workers, due to inconsistent availability of laboratory infrastructure. We evaluated the diagnostic ...
