Okay in your RPI example problem towards the end of video, the patient’s HCt is 41% which means the maturation time should be 1 day and should be divided by 1. Isn’t it?
thanks for presentation. I have noticed that at last Patient example, in which have htc %41, but you calculated maturation time as 2 days; I guess it should be 1 day. please correct me if I am wrong. thanks a lot
Hi sir. Yes. It was actually an error on my part. I overlooked the table I made in the previous slides about the maturation time. Fortunately, my students also asked the same question during our online class and I already clarified to them that maturation time is 1 day. Thank you so much.
thank you for this lecture.... i took some notes regarding the computations on in my own online class I hope you don't mind keep up the good work mam - Much love from the middle east
@ 14:12 according to the maturation time table in the previous slide, maturation should be 1 day since HCT is 41% , can you please explain why you said 2 days?

@@leraalmendral996 Your videos are great btw, thanks and 1 last question sorry, but when u calculated the values that were in % it seems like you ignored the % and disregarded them , example 2% and 7.8% were treated as 2 and 7.8 when u computed them was that an error too? Math is not my favorite subject
@@Wertyxl Hi. The % was just converted to a decimal because it was divided by 100 basically converting the 2% to a decimal like this 2%/100=0.02. It was not just shown in the presentation. Regardless if you are going to convert the % to decimal by dividing it by 100 first or just calculate the values altogether, you will still get the same answer. I hope I was able to answer your question.
Approximately how many fields are read to to count 112 RBCs using miller disk? The 112 RBCs does it include the retics that is similar with the conventional computation wherein retics are part of the 1000 RBCs or Is it counted separately? Thanks!
Hi. That would be approximately 9 fields. You just have to divide the 1000 RBCs by 112. The 112 RBCs do not include the retics. They are counted separately.
The 0.45 L/L is a constant value. It is a correction factor that is used especially in specimens with a low hematocrit. The percentage of retics may be falsely elevated because whole blood contains fewer red blood cells. 45% or 45 L/L is the average normal hematocrit considered according to Rodak.
base on your computation on ARC you arrive with the initial answer 4.4x10^10/L i tried to solve it 2x2.20=4.4 did you already divide it with the denominator? cause i tried to divide it with the denominator i ended up having an answer of 0.044
