Gladys Martin July 2005 Indications for Blood Transfusions Goal of transfusing: Preserve oxygen delivery to tissues and avoid myocardial ischemia. One can do this by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood by raising the Hgb concentration of patients with acute/chronic anemia. Each unit will raise the Hct by 3 to 4 percent unless there is continued bleeding. Background: Transfusion trigger based on the 10/30 rule‚ give 2 units. However‚ with the discovery of transfusion-related HIV and

Blood Pressure Anatomy And Physiology Breven Sellers 11/3/2014 Arteries • Arteries are thick walled‚ yet they are elastic enough to stand pressure from the heart pumping at a fast rate. The arteries job is to transport blood away from the heart‚ usually only transporting highly oxygenated blood‚ having just left the lungs and on its way to the body’s tissues Arterioles • There are smaller branches of the arteries called arterioles‚ they connect to the capillaries. • Arterioles are the main

Without it we would be like a big bowl of jello‚ and your organs would get glopped by the rest of your body. Our bones make it possible to move. To help us move better we have four different types of joints. A joint is where
