AIR METHODS CC Paramedic
1. ABG - PH 7.35-7.45 mm HG
2. ABG - 35-45 mm HG
PaCO2
range
3. ABG - PA02 80-100mm HG
4. ABG - BE -2 - 3 MeQ/L
5. CBC: Hemoglobin Normal Value: 14-17.5 G /DL
(Hgb) - what is
the normal
range?
6. CBC: Hemoglobin High value = smoking?
(Hgb) - what do Low value = anemia or blood loss?
high and low
val- ues
indicate?
7. CBC: Hematocrit - Normal value = 41-50%
what is the
nor- mal
range?
8. CBC: Hematocrit - High value = dehydrated?
what do high and Low value = anemia or blood loss?
low values indi-
cate?
9. CBC: WBC - range?
what
is the normal 10. CBC: WBC - what
1/
20
, AIR METHODS CC Paramedic
do high and Normal value = 4500-11000
low values
indicate?
High value = infection, anemia, steroid use
Low value = viral infection or immunodeficiency

, AIR METHODS CC Paramedic
11. CBC: RBC - what Normal value = 3.9-5.5 million mm3
is the normal
range?
12. CBC: RBC - what High value = polycythemia or high altitude
do high and Low value = cancer or bone marrow suppression
low values
indicate?
Coumadin
13. Coags: PT - anticoagulation 10-13
what does it second
measure &
how long?
High values can indicate liver cirrohsis, vitamin K deficiency or DIC
14. Coags: PT -
what do high
values in-
dicate?
15. Coags: INR International normalized ratio. Normal INR = 1.0.
16. Coags: aPTT - Measures Heparin
what does it mea- 25-40 second
sure & how long?
17. OB: What are -Blood volume increases 40%
some physio- -Plasma increases, showing false anemia on labs
logical -BP decreases in 2nd trimester, but returns to normal
changes -Cardiac output increases, up to 50%
which occur -HR increases 10-15 bpm
in -SBP increases
pregnancy? -Body becomes more insulin resistant
