Hematology - Complete Blood Count (CBC) - Critical Care Labs

In this last lesson in our critical care labs series, we take a look at our collection of hematology studies that are included in the complete blood count or CBC. This is another very common test in the ICU for our critically ill patients and gives us a lot of useful information to try and help diagnose and treat our patients. Understand their purpose, normal and abnormal values, and what would lead to high or low levels of specific tests is imperative in the ICU. Hopefully I am able to help break this information down for you.

LUCKY that I came across this video 😊it's specified and informative, Currently a fourth year Medical Technology student here🥰

[cornelbacauanu]

Very useful information for anyone interpreting CBC. Thank you.One comment: PLT goes down and is significant in Dx of Dengue fever and is also a marker of recovery when returns to normal. Patients with Dengue fever need admission and daily monitoring of PLT for bleeding. Severe cases need ICU admission.

[colorandframe]

Thank you for this video. A fantastic review.

[dwilson]

Thank you for including the disorders. When I was a student the most important piece of this medical puzzle is why. Why are we learning lab values and what do we do next? Thank you.

❤

[ConnieBacolod-jh]

Very nice knowledge you share for us sir...❤

[vladvlog]

Excellent presentation, you are very gifted in synthesizing material and presenting it an understandable and precise format. Perhaps a little fast to take down notes.

Will you kindly talk about cardiac assessment and cardiac sounds, I still find them tricky to differentiate with stethoscope

[Epitopi]

Suggestion: a better way of defining hematocrit is "the percentage of RBCs that make up a volume of blood." Hence why over-hydration leads to hemodilution. The definition in the video implies hematocrit is a ratio between RBCs and other blood cells.
