Cardioversion vs Defibrillation Both cardioversion and defibrillation involve delivering electrical energy to the chest to alter the heartbeat. Both are contraindicated in digoxin and catecholamine induced dysrhythmias.
Normal Range for MCHC: 32-36 grams/deciliter in adults. SI units: 334-355 gram/liter. A low MCHC means that there is less hemoglobin in each red cell regardless of the size of the red cell, known as hypochromia. It is seen in iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia.
The MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) is the mean hemoglobin concentration in all the red blood cells (or is the percentage of the red blood cell that contains hemoglobin) and is usually a calculated value by dividing the hemoglobin by the red blood cell mass (HCT or PCV).ecreased values (hypochromasia). 1  Artifact: 2  MCHC: RBC swelling with storage, hypernatremia, hyperglycemia, other causes of hyperosmolality (see MCV). 3  Pathophysiologic: 4  Regenerative anemia: Immature RBC have less hemoglobin than normal. 5  Iron deficiency anemia: Multiple causes. 6  Portosystemic shunts: The low MCHC is attributable to a relative or 7  ...
