There are
several methods that can be used to determine the packed red blood cell volume
(PCV). Some are direct and others are indirect methods. Using a manual ruler to
evaluate PCV is the easiest and most economical method that is commonly used as
a direct method for determining PCV but with the potential for subjective
errors and plasma entrapping. In our research, we designed and implemented an
Arduino board-based electronic circuit for PCV evaluation. The new measurement
device is compatible with red light emitters or diodes (006 nm RT) to take
advantage of the reported absorption of this light by erythrocytes (red blood
cells) compared to the lowest absorption of red light by blood plasma. The
transmitted light is then received by the photocell the photocell signal is
processed by the Arduino board. The difference in light intensity between the
incident light and the transmitted light after it passes through the blood
sample that was taken Ejection from the center makes the PCV assessment method
reliable.71 The diodes and photocells included in this device make the process
of determining the volume of red blood cells to the total blood volume easier
and more accurate. Finally, it uses a programmable Arduino board2560MB (with
specific mathematical equations stored in Arduino memory) to calculate and
check PCV and HB (hemoglobin) values, it makes reliable PCV blood analysis a
simple process.
