what the risks are hemoglobin, hgb, hb, a hemoglobin test measures the total amount, hemoglobin, in the blood, hemoglobin is always ordered, complete blood count, cbc, hemoglobin electrophoresis blood is drawn, a vein, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, blood pressure cuff, around the upper arm to apply pressure, restrict blood flow, the vein, veins to fill, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an air-tight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, in infants, young children, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, cotton, a bandage applied, puncture site, any continued bleeding, no special preparation, in infants, children, test depends on child's age, interests, level of trust, more information on how, prepare children, lab tests, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain, others feel only a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, hemoglobin, protein that carries oxygen, in the blood, contained in red blood cells, high, low hemoglobin counts indicate defects, in the balance of red blood cells, in the blood, indicate disease, hemoglobin, altitude, male, 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dl, female, 12.1 to 15.1 gm/dl, gm/dl = grams per deciliter lower-than-normal hemoglobin, anemia, various types, erythropoietin deficiency, from kidney disease, red blood cell destruction associated, transfusion reaction, bleeding, lead poisoning, malnutrition, nutritional deficiencies of iron, folate, vitamin b-12, vitamin b-6, overhydration, higher-than-normal hemoglobin, congenital heart disease, cor pulmonale, pulmonary fibrosis, polycythemia vera, increased rbc formation associated, excess erythropoietin, additional conditions under which the test performed, anemia of chronic disease, clinical hemoglobin c, diabetes, giant cell, temporal, cranial, arteritis, hemolytic anemia, due to g6pd deficiency, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, iddm, idiopathic aplastic anemia, idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune hemolytic anemia, iron deficiency anemia, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, pch, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, pnh, pernicious anemia, placenta abruptio, polymyalgia rheumatica, rhabdomyolysis, secondary aplastic anemia, drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia, test performed under many conditions, in assessment of many diseases, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, hemoglobin, hb, main component of red blood cells, protein that carries oxygen, lungs, body's tissues, carbon dioxide, tissues, lungs to be exhaled, at a pressure of 100 mmhg, in the lung's capillaries, 95-98%, the hb is combined, oxygen, peripheral tissues, pressure, 20 mmhg, less than 30%, the oxygen remains combined, hb, serum hemoglobin, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
