ABSTRACT

Venous blood sampling is widely used in the intensive care unit and in this regard, hemoglobin and hematocrit are among the important parameters related to anemia in critically ill patients. Therefore, due to the importance of hemoglobin and hematocrit in the intensive care unit, the present study was conducted to investigate blood and biochemical parameters in the intensive care unit of Imam Ali (AS) Hospital in Zahedan in 2020.

Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional analytical study that was performed on 104 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Imam Ali Hospital in 2020. Demographic and clinical information of patients and information related to the amount of hemoglobin and hematocrit of blood, etc. were collected in the relevant checklist. After entering the information of the samples through SPSS software version 20, with descriptive statistical methods, the amount of hemoglobin and Hematocrit was statistically analyzed in intensive care units.

Results: In this study, the mean and standard deviation of hemoglobin on the first and last day were 11.9 ±.2.9 and 2.08 ± 9.9, respectively, and the mean and standard deviation of hematocrit on the first and last day were 37.3 ± 8.6 and 31.4 ±6, respectively. The patients studied in this study were diagnosed with burns, lung diseases, poisoning and gynecological diseases and other diseases and a statistically significant and negative difference was observed between hemoglobin and hematocrit on the last day and blood volume taken from patients (p-value≤0.001).
