- 14. Diseases of ErythrocytesAnemias Anemia is a sign, not a separate disease process. Signs and symptoms may not be present until the body is stressed. Differentiate chronic anemia from acute episode. Treat signs and symptoms. Maximize oxygenation and limit blood loss. Establish IV therapy if indicated. www.freelivedoctor.com

- 16. Diseases of ErythrocytesSickle Cell Disease Normal red cells maintain their shape as they pass through the capillaries and release oxygen to the peripheral tissues (upper panel). Hemoglobin polymers form in the sickle rell cells with oxygen release, causing them to deform. The deformed cells block the flow of cells and interrupt the delivery of oxygen to the tissues (lower panel). www.freelivedoctor.com

- 23. Clotting Disorders HemophiliaDeficiency or absence of a blood clotting factor Deficiency of factor VIII causes hemophilia A. Deficiency of factor IX causes hemophilia B. Deficiency is a sex-linked, inherited disorder. Defective gene is carried on the X chromosome. Signs & Symptoms Numerous bruises, deep muscle bleeding, and joint bleeding. www.freelivedoctor.com
- 24. Clotting Disorders Hemophilia(cont.) Management Treat the patient similarly to others. Administer supplemental oxygen. Establish IV access. Be alert for recurrent or prolonged bleeding, and prevent additional trauma. Von Willebrand’s Disease Deficient component of factor VIII Generally results in excessive bleeding. Generally is not serious; provide supportive care. www.freelivedoctor.com

Results from sepsis, hypotension, OB complications, severe tissue or brain injury, cancer, and major hemolytic reactions. Multiple Myeloma Cancerous disorder of plasma cells.
