A typical volume of blood in the human body is about 5 L. A certain percentage of that volume (called the hematocrit) consists of red blood cells (RBCs); typically the hematocrit is about 45% in males. Suppose that a surgery takes four hours and a male patient bleeds 2 L of blood. During surgery, the patient's blood volume is maintained at 5 L by injection of saline solution, which mixes quickly with the blood but dilutes it so that the hematocrit decreases as time passes. 1. A procedure called acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has been developed to minimize RBC loss during surgery. In this procedure, blood is extracted from the patient before the operation and replaced with a saline solution. This dilutes the patient's blood, resulting in fewer RBCs being lost during the bleeding. The extracted blood is then returned to the patient after surgery. Only a certain amount of blood can be extracted, however, because the RBC concentration can never be allowed to drop below 30% during surgery. What is the maximum amount of blood that can be extracted in the ANH procedure for the surgery described in this project? What is the RBC loss without the ANH procedure? 2. What is the loss if the procedure is carried out with the volume calculated in problem 1?

A teenager lost 2L of blood. She is 168cm tall, 18 years of age, and weighs 71kg. A. The given situation exceeded the allowable blood loss. B. The blood loss is within the safe volume. 9. A 65-year-old man lost 5L of blood as he traveled to save himself towards the hospital. He is 183cm tall and weighs 78kg. A. The given situation exceeded the allowable blood loss. B. The blood loss is within the safe volume.
