Evaluating Hemoglobin Concentrations in a Patient Receiving Polymerized Hemoglobin
Specialty: | Clinical Laboratory |
Objective: | |
ICD-10: | |
Description: | Infusion of polymerized hemoglobin is one possible blood substitute that shows promise for use in situations where regular blood is not available. The different levels of free and red cell associated hemoglobin needs to be measured during therapy. Most hematology analyzers use a colorimetric assay to measure total hemoglobin in a blood sample. |
