Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 80-100 (mm Hg) | PaO2 |
| 40 - 70 (mm Hg) | PaCO2 |
| 7.35-7.45 | pH |
| 25 (mEq/L) | HCO3 |
| 95-99% | SaO2 |
| 40-45% | Hemoglobin (Hgb) Low Values = Anemia |
| 5 (million/mm3) | RBC Count Low Values = Anemia High Values = COPD |
| 5,000 - 10,000 (mm3) | Total WBC Count > 10,000 indicates systemic infection < 5,000 hold aerobic exercise |
| 200,000 - 500,000 (mm3) | Platelets 30,000 - 50,000 avoid resisted exercise, risk of internal hemorrhage - ambulation OK < 30,000: bedside, gentle AROM < 20,000: consult with physician before activity |
| 0-20 (mm/hr) | Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Bad if elevated - RA suspected |
| 0.5 - 1 (mg/dL) | Creatinine Renal function measure: high values are bad. May indicate nephropathy, end stage renal failure |
| 4 (mEq/L) | Potassium (K) High (hyperkalemia) - ventricular arrhythmias Low (hypokalemia) - vomiting, diarrhea, sweating or digitalis toxicity |
| 9 (mg/dL) | Calcium High (hypercalcemia) - thirst; polyuria; renal stones; decreased muscle tone and DTRs, cardiac arrhythmias Low (hypocalcemia) - osteoporosis, muscle spasms, cardiac arrhythmias |
| 140 (mEq/L) | Sodium High (hyperatremia) - edema, tachycardia Low (hyponatremia) - postural hypotension, abdominal cramps, |
| 100 (mg/dL) | Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) >126 diabetes |
| 120/80 | Blood Pressure |
| 1 | Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) 0.7 - 0.9 - Mild arterial disease 0.5 - 0.7 - Moderate arterial disease < 0.5 -Severe arterial disease (risk of gangrene) |
| 12 - 18 | Respiration Rate |
| 60 - 100 | Heart Rate |
| 3 (g/dl) | Gamma Globulin Helps resist infection High values could mean MS |
| 4 (g/dl) | Albumin Elevated with renal failure Could be induced with marathon running Decreases after burn |
| Anemia | Low levels of Hemoglobin (Hgb) means |
| Renal Failure | Elevated Albumin means |
| MS | High Gamma Globulin means |
| RA | High Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) means |
| 30,000 - 50,000 | Platelets to avoid resisted exercise, risk of internal hemorrhage - ambulation OK |
| 30,000 (or below) | Platelets for bedside, gentle AROM |
| 20,000 (or below) | Platelets for consult with physician before activity |
| 5,000 (or below) | Lab value for WBC to hold aerobic activity |
