Heparin has been used in flushing solutions in attempts to prolong the patency of arterial and central venous lines by preventing these occlusions. Its use‚ however is not without risks such as hypersensitivity reactions and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Recent studies suggest that non-heparinized solutions‚ such as saline‚ may be as effective in maintaining catheter patency. A recent heparin shortage allowed examination of heparin effectiveness in reducing CVAD thrombosis. Many studies have

Blood disorder HCA/240 September 22‚ 2013 Blood disorder Blood is compromise of four main components‚ Plasma‚ red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and platelets. Plasma is a yellow mixture of water‚ protein‚ and salt that carries blood cells‚ nutrients‚ hormones‚ gases and waste. Red cells contain hemoglobin‚ a protein that contains iron. Hemoglobin deliver oxygen to all parts of the body‚ also takes carbon dioxide to the lungs. Platelets are small cells that control the blood. These form

blood count or CBC‚ “A normal platelet count ranges from 150‚000 to 450‚000 platelets per microliter of blood” ("Johns Hopkins Medicine"‚ n.d.). Higher than 450‚000 is a condition called thrombocytosis. Lower than 150‚000 is a condition called thrombocytopenia. Too many platelets are cause for possible clotting. If you have platelets in the healthy range but they stick together‚ it could cause a heart attack or stroke. Whether there are too many‚ too little platelet count‚ abnormally functioning

According to Rodak’s (2016)‚ Platelets‚ which are also known as thrombocytes‚ initiate the vessel wall repair when damaged to keep the integrity of blood vessel and regulate the hemostasis. Platelets are round or oval‚ no nucleus‚ and small in size ‚ ranging from 2 to 4 μm in dimater. They are vital to life and are studied for their significance physiology. Consequent to vessel injury‚ platelets are activated to form plug at the site of injury to prevent blood loss. Vessel injury exposes the subendothelial
