objective: to investigate the decrease in hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit during elective surgery. methods: this was a prospective study being performed in nemazee hospital of shiraz university of medical sciences. we included a total of 50 american society of anesthesiology (asa) i and ii patients undergoing elective minor surgeries. perioperative fluid administration was performed for...

Abstract This paper considers a mathematical model that accounts for the hematological disorders of blood in its flow human arteries. Blood is described as Newtonian fluid but with viscosity function hematocrit, plasma viscosity, and shape factor red cells. The artery modeled flexible circular pipe oscillatory. solved using HAM (Homotopy Analysis Method), an approximate analytical method, we co...

OBJECTIVE To discover the effects of the lowest hematocrit during cardiopulmonary bypass on end-organ function and mortality in patients who did not receive red blood cell transfusion and to identify predictors of nadir hematocrit. METHODS From November 1, 2004, to October 1, 2009, 7957 patients underwent cardiac surgery supported by cardiopulmonary bypass and were not transfused. The relatio...

BACKGROUND Identification of dengue patients at risk for progressing to severe disease is difficult. Significant plasma leakage is a hallmark of severe dengue infection which can suddenly lead to hypovolemic shock around the time of defervescence. We hypothesized that the detection of subclinical plasma leakage may identify those at risk for severe dengue. The aim of the study was to determine ...

Aim: We consider mean platelet volume (MPV), a pointer of activity related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and vascular complications, may have role in patients using Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i). Therefore, we aimed evaluate the MPV change after SGLT2i use diabetic patients.Matherial Method: Hemogram parameters such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, 0th 24th weeks 102 with T2D...

The association of hematocrit with development of hypertension over 9 years was studied in 784 hypertension-free Japanese men aged 40 to 59 years. The age-adjusted relative risk for hypertension above the borderline level and definite hypertension increased in a dose-dependent manner as hematocrit level increased (P for trend: 0.007 and 0.001, respectively). After controls for other potential f...

in order to evaluate the effects of ascites on blood gas parameters and internal organ weights, 335 broilers related to parental lines was studied. one hundred sixty-one male broilers and one hundred seventy-four females selected randomly and studied under two treatments of control and ascites. at 54 days of age, body weight and body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion rate between the...

conclusions although some studies showed association between anemia and extubation failure, the current study could not confirm it. the study showed that males, regardless of the hct level, had a better extubation success rate than those of females. results there was no significant association between the level of hct concentration and extubation failure (8.9% vs. 9.2%, p = 0.507). gender and a...
