This article, the tenth in a series on the biological basis of child health, focuses on blood. Blood has a crucial role in the transport of substances such as respiratory gases, nutrients and antibodies, as well as in acid-base balance, fluid balance, blood clotting and the immune system. This article describes the composition, formation and function of blood, outlines normal blood count values and explains the effects of low blood cell counts in children. It also provides an overview of the blood disorders that are commonly seen in children, including anaemia, sickle cell disease, clotting disorders and blood cancers. It is essential for children's nurses to have knowledge and an understanding of blood, including its physiology and pathophysiology, to provide optimal care and support to children and young people and their families.
本文是关于儿童健康生物学基础系列文章中的第十篇，重点介绍血液。血液在诸如呼吸气体、营养物质和抗体等物质的运输中起着关键作用，同时也参与酸碱平衡、体液平衡、血液凝固和免疫系统。本文描述了血液的组成、形成和功能，概述了正常的血细胞计数数值，并解释了儿童血细胞计数低的影响。它还概述了儿童常见的血液疾病，包括贫血、镰状细胞病、凝血障碍和血癌。儿童护士了解血液知识，包括其生理学和病理生理学，对于为儿童、青少年及其家庭提供最佳护理和支持至关重要。
