what the risks are blood test, formed elements of blood, high blood pressure tests, erythrocyte count, red blood cell count, blood test that measures the number of red blood cells, rbcs, rbc count is always part, the cbc, complete blood count, rbcs transport hemoglobin, hemoglobin transports oxygen, oxygen body tissues receive depends on the amount, function, rbcs, hemoglobin, rbcs, survive, 120 days, in the blood, removed by specialized "clean-up" cells, in the spleen, liver, blood is drawn, a vein, on the inside, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, restrict blood flow, the vein, veins below the band 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, an infant, young child, 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 is necessary, adults, infants, children, test depends on child's age, level of trust, prepare child, 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, this test, identify anemia, low hemoglobin, conditions affecting the red blood cells, rbc, altitude, male, 4.7 to 6.1 million cells/mcl, female, 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcl, cells/mcl = cells per microliter abnormal rbcs have a shorter-than-normal life span, trauma, the blood vessels, artificial heart valves, peripheral vascular, blood vessel, damage rbcs, an enlarged spleen, portal hypertension, leukemia, remove normal red cells, aging ones, higher-than-normal numbers of rbcs, congenital heart disease, cor pulmonale, pulmonary fibrosis, polycythemia vera, dehydration, from severe diarrhea, kidney disease, high erythropoietin production, lower-than-normal numbers of rbcs, anemia, various types, hemorrhage, bleeding, bone marrow failure, from radiation, toxin, fibrosis, tumor, erythropoietin deficiency, secondary to kidney disease, hemolysis, rbc destruction, from transfusion reaction, leukemia, multiple myeloma, malnutrition, nutritional deficiencies of, iron, folate, vitamin b-12, vitamin b-6, overhydration, additional conditions under which the test performed, alport syndrome, hemolytic anemia, due to g6pd deficiency, idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune hemolytic anemia, macroglobulinemia of waldenstrom, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, pnh, primary myelofibrosis, renal cell carcinoma, drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia, congenital anemias, thalassemia, 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, rbc count decreased, pregnancy, an increase in body fluids, rbc, increase, a period of several weeks after moving to a higher altitude, dehydration increases the rbc count, drugs, increase the rbc count include gentamicin, methyldopa, drugs, decrease the rbc count include chloramphenicol, hydantoins, quinidine, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
