1. Study Purpose

   The purpose of this study was to determine if venous stasis, generated by a sphygmometer (0-3 min), influences routine hematological analytes.

   Summary of Findings:

   The following parameters were significantly affected by an induced venous stasis of 1 minute: white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and lymphocyte and monocyte counts. After 3 minutes of induced venous stasis all investigated parameters differed from paired time zero controls with the following exceptions: main cell volume, main hemoglobin content, mean platelet volume, and basophil count. While red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit increased with the duration of venous stasis, total white blood cell counts and subpopulations decreased.
