Term
Define Hemoglobin (Hgb)
Definition
The iron-containing O2-transport metalloprotein in RBCs.

Units: g/100ml bld

If normal: 15g/100ml bld

Hct/3

Round to 1 decimal place
Term
Define Hematocrit (Hct)
Definition
Centrifuged packed cell volume.

Units: %

If normal: 45%

Hgb X 3

Round to one decimal place
Term
Define Capacity (Cap)
Definition
How much of the Hgb can combine with O2.

Units: mls O2/100mls bld

If Hgb&/or Hct is wnl: 20.1 mls of 02/100 mls of bld

Hgb X 1.34

Round to 1 decimal place
Term
Define Content/Concentration/Vol% (C)
Definition
Amount of gas (O2) in (100mls/bld).

Units: mls of 02/100mls (a,v,c) blood

Cap X Saturation

(S)(level given by lab)

Round to 1 decimal place
Term
Define Cardiac Output (CO)
Definition
The amt of bld the heart pumps out in 1 min.

Units: L/min

Stroke Volume (SV) X Heart Rate (HR)
Round to 3 decimal places
Term
Define Cardiac Index (CI)
Definition
Cardiac index (CI) is a vasodynamic parameter that relates the cardiac output (CO) to body surface area (BSA), thus relating heart performance to the size of the individual.

Units: L/min/m²

CO/BSA

Round to 3 decimal places
Term
Define Stroke Volume (SV)
Definition
The vol of bld pumped from the heart with each beat.

Units: mls/bt

CO/HR

Round to 1 decimal place
Term
Define Stoke Volume Index
Definition
A method of relating the stroke volume to the size of the person.

Units: mls/bt/m2

SV/BSA

Round to 1 decimal place
Term

What is normal hemtatocrit and how do you formulate?
Definition
Normal is 45% for males, 38% for females
Formula: Hgb*3
Term
What is normal capcity and how do you formulate?
