PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -avoid very strenuous exercise – people with sickle cell disease should be active, but intense activities that cause you to become seriously out of breath are best avoided. avoid alcohol and smoking – alcohol can cause you to become dehydrated and smoking can trigger a serious lung condition called acute chest syndrome.

Detailed explanation-2: -A blood test can check for the form of hemoglobin that underlies sickle cell anemia. In the United States, this blood test is part of routine newborn screening. But older children and adults can be tested, too. In adults, a blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Keep the patient oxygenated. During a vaso-occlusive crisis, sickle cells clump together and are not able to carry oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The administration of oxygen will help increase oxygen and tissue perfusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -For anemic crisis with splenic sequestration, give early red cell transfusions because the process can rapidly progress to shock.
