You are caring for a teenager with sickle cell anemia. When comparing new laboratory results with the patient's baseline, you should prioritize all of the following as requiring intervention except? - elevated serum bilirubin - low pH on an arterial blood gas - elevated serum osmolality - elevated white blood cell count

Transcript

00:01 Hello student here the question is given and the question is regarding the sickle cell disease.

00:06 So we know this is a kind of genetic disorder in which the hemoglobin shape become sickle -sape.

00:15 So due to this sickle -shape, the shortage of rbc will be there.

00:21 So here the shortage of rbc.

00:25 These rbc are going to be death prematurely.

00:28 So in that case the rbc count will be less.

00:33 So here in case of the patient having this sickle cell disease, what should be have to be taken care? so the first one is given which is the elevated serum bilrobin.

00:47 Elevated serum belly rubin.

00:55 So we know this bellarubin is going to be formed by the.

01:00 Breakdown of rbc breakdown of rbc and if it is increased significantly then it indicate the destruction of the blood red blood cells is going to be so it require attention so it could be correct for that and similarly if we look at the second one the low ph on arterial blood gas.

01:35 So in this case, this is the case of the ph is less than the conditions would be acidic.

01:41 So this is the acidosis and it is occur in the sickle cell anemia during sickle cell crisis.

01:48 So it occurred during sickle cell crisis.

01:52 Simply means this also require acid base balance.

01:58 So we need to take acid base balance.

02:02 So here it is requirement to of acid base balance so it is also correct for the given patient we have to consider this.

02:10 Similarly if we look at this elevated serum osmollality...
