DIC Decreases What Labs? -
\Decreases: Hgb, Hct, Plt, Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen level in DIC -
\goes down decreased, because the fibrinogen is breaking down to form clots
Fibrin degradation products
fibrin split products (FSP) in DIC -
\Elevated because fibrinogen is breaking down tons of clots
D-dimer in DIC -
\elevated, elevated in DVT
HELLP Tx -
\Prevent seizures, fluids and electrolytes, blood products, control blood pressure,
Dexmethasone- immune response
ITP -
\Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, platelets <150,000 without identifiable cause
blood drugs -
\neupogen, epogen, neumega
platelet count -
\150,000-400,000/mm3
Thrombocytopenia -
\low platelet count, <150,000
Granulocytes -
\neutrophils-45-75%, eosinophils-0-4%, basophils 0-3%
neutrophils -
\segs and bands, 2,000-7000
segs -
\mature neutrophil nucleus of neutrophil segmented
bands -
\<5% of WBC, nucleus of immature neutrophil banded, "immature neutrophils still pla in
bands
