Experienced medical practitioners (e.g. dentists, physicians, surgeons, nurses, etc.) many times have noticed that "something" causes a wound or a surgical incision to bleed more on certain occasions than on others. Whereas, at other times, the same kind of operation produces very little blood. Equally careful observations, on our part, have shown that bleeding intensity, as well as liquid retention, closely follows the variation of certain astronical factors. This is the underlying pattern that drives this resource.

The same can be said regarding the inflammation of traumatized organic tissue. And again, the same astronical factors help us predict this condition.

If you, as a patient scheduled to undergo a minor or major surgical operation, are aware of the Bleeding and Inflammation Intensity Index (BIII) corresponding to your geographical location (i.e. the town or city where your operation is to take place), at a given date and time, you can tell your doctor or dentist about it in order for him or her to take any convenient precautionary measures on your behalf. It could also help pronosticate post-operatory bleeding.

Every day, more and more medical professionals —on a worldwide scale— are taking into consideration this Intensity Index. It allows them to be prepared should a haemorrhage-related complication occur. If you are a doctor or a dentist, sceptical as you might have been taught to be, you should at least keep this information in the back of your mind. On the long run, you'll see that time and again your own observations will confirm what this Index provides. Try it out, both for your patient's sake, as well as for your own benefit.

The BIII display is also a boon for women, for it can help them know in advance if their menstrual flow will be mild, regular or abundant (or extreme), and thus be able to prepare themselves in beforehand. Should this be your case, in order to use the Astronical BloodMeter, enter the location where you plan to be on the approximate date of your next mestrual period.

After entering the required data and clicking on the "PROCEED" button, you'll be shown the BIII, for the geographical location that you specified, beginning on the hour and minutes entered, as well as a forecast of the next 19 hours. If you change the location or date/hour (or both), the resulting chart will change accordingly.

Each position of the diagram can show one of several conditions. The most extreme case, represented by a double blood-drop with a white exclamation mark, indicates that at the place and time given, a patient's blood pressure will tend to be very high and that any haemorrhage that may occur will be extreme. Experience has shown that under these conditions, both blood pressure and bleeding will be extremely difficult to control. Also, aneurysms, edemas and other inflammations will tend to swell.

Whereas the smallest blood-drop indicates a time of scarse bleeding, making it a good time to operate, to tend to wounds that normally bleed easily, or to proceed with a difficult dental extraction. Under these circumstances, the body fluids will be under low pressure, and bleeding, if any, promises to be light. Swellings and liquid retention will also tend to be minor.

The other blood-drop sizes indicate an in-between condition: The larger the drop, the more abundant the bleeding and inflammation.

Depending on the astronical conditions that prevail at a given place and time, the BIII can rise or drop from one hour to the next, or it can remain the same for several hours.

I'd like to clarify that although the BloodMeter shows a marked general tendency, some patients don't react in the indicated way. Please use the information given at your own discretion and convenience.
