Lab Math Flashcards
Calculation for Dilution
V1C1=V2C2 remember to subtract or add for the total volume when asking for quantity to dilute.
1 inch = how many cm
2.54cm
1 kg = how many lb
2.2 lb
RHIG formula
% of fetal cells/ mother cells multiply by 5000mL= FMH quantity/30 (30uL is covered by any one Rhig vial) To this final number at 1 vial to be on the safe side
Exchange transfusion (Mixing plasma and RBCs)
V1C1=V2C2 remember to subtract or add for the total volume when asking for quantity to dilute. Final volume is total final volume, not the diluent.
Antigen screening calculation
% Ag Neg/100=Units needed/X units to screen. Units needed/%antigen negative
Blood volume calculation
convert lbs to Kg. 1kg=75ml/Kg of blood this is the blood volume
Plasma volume
Blood volume (hct%)=X, BV-X= plasma volume. BV(1-HCT)
Maximum blood bolume collected according to AABB
10.5mL/ Kg, don’t forget 50mL diversion pouch
Component yield
Total plt= (Plt/uL) (10^3uL/mL)(vol in unit). PC/WB=% of yield. With a WB unit you do the count of the WB unit and the count of the PC (platelet concentrate and then take a percentage)
Average yield of a platelet unit
69%
Half life of IgG
23-25 days
Cryo dosing (Factor VIII)
(PV)(Factor VIII increment)/ 80IU per bag
Factor VIII quantity in severe hemophilia
Assume 0%
normal Factor 8 quantity in cryo bag
80IU/bag
Corrected Count Increment
(New ct-Old ct) (BSA)/(Plt)(x10^11)
Average BSA if not given
2m^2
