Vitals / Labs Flashcards
Blood Pressure
Systolic: 100/140
Diastolic: 70-90
O2 Saturation
95-99%
Pulse
60-100 bpm
Respiration
12-20/min (Adult)
20-30/min (Child)
Temperature
98.6 F
37 C
BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)
8-25 mg/100ml
Urea nitrogen is what forms when protein breaks down.
A test can be done to measure the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood.
Creatinine
Male: 0.6 - 1.5 mg/100ml
Female: 0.6 - 1.1 mg/100ml
Measures the level of creatinine in the blood. This test is done to see how well your kidneys work.
PT (Prothrombin Time)
11-16 sec.
Measures the time it takes for the liquid portion (plasma) of your blood to clot.
PTT (Partial Thrombin Time)
25-38 sec.
How long it takes for blood to clot.
INR
International Normalization Ratio
0.5 - 1.5
How long it takes blood to form a clot.
Glucose
70-110 mg/100mL
Potassium (K)
3.5-5 mEg/L
RBC
Male: 4.6-5.9 million
Female: 4.2-5.4 million
WBC
4,300-10,800/mm3
HCT
Hematocrit
Male: 45-52%
Female: 37-48%
Measures the percentage of the volume of whole blood that is made up of red blood cells. This measurement depends on the number of red blood cells and the size of red blood cells.
HGB
Hemoglobin
Male: 13-18 g/100ml
Female: 12-16 g/100ml
Measures how much hemoglobin is your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Platelet
150k-350k/mm3
Measures how many platelets you have in your blood. Platelets are parts of the blood that help the blood clot
Bili
0.1-1 mg/dl
GFR
Glomerular Filtration Rate
70 +/- 14 mL
Rate creatinine filtered
(Age/Sex/Race play a role)
Checks how well the kidneys are working. Specifically, it estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. Glomeruli are the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood.
