Correlation of red cell distribution width value with the duration of mechanical ventilator usage in patients treated in pediatric intensive care unit
Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is the coefficient of erythrocyte volume variation. High RDW may indicate heterogeneous erythrocyte size in terms of size and volume (anisocytosis). RDW is affected by the degree of hypoxic tissue; the higher the hypoxia, the higher the RDW. The goal of...
