Instructions for calculating the residual concentration (%) after a non-isovolumetric plasma exchange
| Cell | Text to be entered |
|---|---|
| A1 | Kinetics of continuous flow plasma exchange – non-isovolumetric |
| A3 | Patient’s blood volume (mL) |
| A4 | Patient’s initial venous haematocrit (%) |
| A5 | Correction factor for the body haematocrit |
| A6 | Removed volume (mL) |
| A7 | Ratio between the infused and the removed volumes |
| A9 | Patient’s plasma volume (mL) |
| A10 | Removed volume (%) |
| A11 | Residual concentration (%) |
| Value to be entered | |
| B3 | Blood volume of the patient (mL), e.g. 4,500 |
| B4 | Initial haematocrit of the patient, e.g. 30 |
| B5 | Correction factor for body haematocrit: 0.91 |
| B6 | Volume of plasma removed (mL), e.g. 3,000 |
| B7 | Ratio between the infused and the removed volumes, e.g. 0.8 |
| Formula to be entered | |
| B9 | =B3*(1−B4/100*B5) |
| B10 | =B6/B9*100 |
| B11 | =POWER(1+((B7−1)*B6/B9), 1/(1−B7))*100 |
