| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Normal Hgb | 14-18 M; 11.5 F |
| <8 mg/dl Hgb | no exercise |
| 8-10 Hgb | light exercise |
| >10 Hgb | resistance as tolerated |
| Normal HCT | 42-52 M, 37-47 F % |
| <25% HCT | no exercise; usually transfuse |
| 25-30%HCT | light exercise |
| >30 % HCT | resistance as tol |
| Normal platelets | 50,000- 450,000 |
| <10,000 plt | bedrest; risk of bleed |
| <20,000 plt | ADL's and AROM only |
| 20-30,000 plt | light exercises only |
| >50,000 plt | resistance as tol |
| Normal WBC | 5,000-10,000 |
| <5,000 WBC | increased handwashing |
| <5,000 WBC, w/ temp | no PT |
| <1000 WBC | reverse precautions |
| Normal glucose | 80-120 mg/dl |
| <60 glucose | poor ex tol |
| >300 glucose | no PT |
| > 400 glucose | possible ketoacidosis |
| Normal pH | 7.35-7.45 |
| <7.35 | respiratory acidosis |
| >7.45 | respiratory alkalosis |
| Normal PCO2 | 35-45 |
| Normal PO2 | 80-100 mmHg |
| Normal INR | 0.9-1.1 |
| <2 INR | ok to exercise |
| >2 INR | check with MD, increased risk of bleeding |
| 5-7 INR | high risk of bleeding, vit K to help decrease effect of coumadin |
| Erytrocytes RBC | M: 4.7-6.1 F: 4.2-5.4 x10 6/mm3 |
| increased RBC | policythenia |
| decreased RBC | anemia |
| Erythrocytes sedimentation rate | M; 15 mm/hr F: 20mm/hr |
| Platelet count 30-50,000 | use moderate exercises |
| Bleeding time | 2-10 min |
| Prothrombin Time (PT) | 11-15 sec |
| SaO2 | > 95% |
| SaO2 less then 88% | requires supplemental oxygen (doctors prescription required) |
