Formula

EBL = EBV × (Hct_initial − Hct_final) ÷ Hct_average
  • Blood Loss Calculator calculates its result from Hct Average, Ebv, Hct Initial, Hct Final. It uses the formula EBL = EBV × (Hct_initial − Hct_final) ÷ Hct_average. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly. This is an informational calculation and is not medical advice.
  • The main inputs are Hct Average, Ebv, Hct Initial, Hct Final. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Use the measurement units shown beside each field. The result is an estimate and should be interpreted in context.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Blood Loss

Inputs
  • Hct Average: 10
  • Ebv: 3
  • Hct Initial: 4
  • Hct Final: 5

Using Hct Average = 10, Ebv = 3, Hct Initial = 4, Hct Final = 5, the calculated result is -0.3.
