Q

Hemoglobin (Hgb)

A

-Measure amount of hemoglobin in your blood (oxygen carrying capacity)

19
Q

Hgb Normal Values

A

Male: 14-18

Female: 12-16

20
Q

Low Hemoglobin

A

Bleeding, folate/B12 deficiencies, cancers, kidney and liver disease

21
Q

High hemoglobin

A

Polycythemia, COPD, live in high altitude and heavy smokers

22
Q

Hematocrit (Hct)

A

-Percentage of blood that is made up of packed red blood cells

23
Q

Hematocrit: Interpreted in percentages

A

A Hct of 40% indicates that there are 40 mL of packed RBC’s in 100 ml of blood

24
Q

Low Hematocrit

A

Anemia, bleeding, bleeding disorder, and fluid imbalances

25
Q

high hematocrit

A

polycythemia, COPD, dehydration, shock, congenital heart disease

26
Q

Other Red Cell Labs

A

Red cell count: total # of erythrocytes in the blood

Mean corpuscle volume: Size of erythrocytes

Mean corpuscle hemoglobin (MCH): Amount of hemoglobin in erythrocyte by weight

27
Q

WBC total count

A

5,000 - 10,000

28
Q

Increase WBC

A

Leukocytosis

29
Q

Decreased WBC

A

Leukopenia

30
Q

Decreased neutrophiles

A

neutropenia

31
Q

CBC

A

Complete Blood Count

WBC
Platelet
RBC
Hct
Hgb

32
Q

WBC with Diff (CBC with DIff)

A

-2 componenets

  1. Total number of WBC’s in mm3 (absolute number)
  2. Determination of the proportion of each of the 5 WBC’s in a sample of 100
33
Q

CBC with DIff Interpretation

A

-An increased % in one type means a decrease in % of another type

-Although the absolute # of the second type does not change

34
Q

Example PP

A

Reading CBC

35
Q

What else to look for with an infection:

A

-Increased in temperature

-Fever can improve immune response

-Decrease virulence of some bacteria

36
Q

Leukopenia: Neutropneia

A

-Most often cancer patients

-Susceptible to bacterial infections

37
Q

Neutropenia: Precautions

A

-Good hygiene
-Avoid contact with people who are sick
-Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, grains
-No fresh flowers
-Keep door closed

38
Q

Leukopenia: Pharmacologic treatment

A

-Hematopoietic agents

39
Q

Filgrastim: Class

A

Granulocyte Colony stimulating factors

40
Q

Filgrastim: MOA

A

Promoting proliferation, differentiation, activation of cells that make granulocytes

41
Q

Filgrastim: Indications

A

Malignancies, chemo-induced leukopenia, bone marrow transplant, harvesting of hematopoietic stem cells, chronic neutropenia

IV or Sub Q

42
Q

Filgrastim: Adverse Effect

A

Bone pain, leukocytosis

43
Q

Pegfilgrastim:
MOA
Route
AE

A

Long acting derivative of filgrastim

Increased production of neutrophils

-SQ

-Bone Pain

Pegylated = delayed excretion by the kidneys
