Canine Whole Blood Transfusion Volume & PCV Calculator

Sizes whole blood or packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion volumes to treat severe hemorrhagic shock or immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA).

Typical target post-transfusion PCV is 25-30%.

Standard fresh whole blood unit PCV is ~40%; Packed Red Blood Cells (pRBCs) ≈ 70%.
