Bleeding in moderation to cut the hematocrit score to a safe reading between 40% and 45%, the Tulane doctors suggest, may well be one answer.
Doctors have traditionally waited until the patient's hematocrit the proportion of the blood made up of red blood cells drops below the normal range of 45% to 55% before .
As a rule, they introduced donated blood as soon as the patient's hematocrit--a measure of the proportion of the blood made up of oxygen-carrying red cells--fell below the normal .
Study identifies better blood glucose monitor for burn care ( University of California - Davis Health System ) Glucose monitoring systems with an autocorrect feature that can detect red blood cells (hematocrit), vitamin C and other common interferents in burn patients' blood are better for monitoring care, a pilot study conducted by UC Davis researchers at the School of Medicine and College of Engineering has found.
