Fig. 2From: A retrospective cohort study on red blood cell morphology changes in pre-school age children under nitrous oxide anesthesiaPerioperative changes of red blood cell morphology. Legend: Changes in MCV(A), MCH(B), MCHC(C) or RDW(D) were observed between the two groups. The absolute changes of MCV(E) and RDW(F) and the relative changes of MCV(G) and RDW(H) were shown separately. MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red-cell distribution width; ΔMCV, change of peak postoperative to preoperative mean corpuscular volume; ΔRDW, change of peak postoperative to preoperative red cell distribution width; rΔMCV, relative change of peak postoperative to preoperative mean corpuscular volume; rΔRDW, relative change of peak postoperative to preoperative red cell distribution width; PreOP, the last blood sample before surgery; POD, blood sample of some day after surgeryBack to article page
