9-lab Procedures Flashcards
Anticoagulant
An agent used to prevent blood from clotting
Buffy coat
In spun blood there are three components
The bottom layer is red cells , top layer is is serum or palsma. And thin middle layer in the buffy coat - contains white blood cells and tissue cells
Cystocentesis
Method of sterile urine collection done by inserting a needle in urinaty bladder
EDTA
type of anticoagulant
Hemolysis
Rupture of red blood cells that causes plasma or serum discoloration
Heparin
Type of anticoagulant
Platelet
Thrombocytes
Important in the initiation of clotting process
Necropsy
Dissection of animals body to determine cause of death
Plasma
Obtained when blood that has n anticoagulant in it is spun down , composed of serum and fibrinogen
RBC
Red blood cells. erythrocytes
Carries oxygen to body cells
Serum
The liquid top portion of spun down blood that has no anticoagulant, consist of fluid elements of blood with no fibrinogen
Supernatant
The clear fluid above sediment or precipitate
Vacutainer
Method of blood collection that uses vacuum present in collection tubes to draw blood
WBC
White blood cells, leukocyte a
There are many types that are involved with inflammation and immunity
2 types of labs
In house and reference
In house descriptions
Quick, limited text options , multiple samples run daily, cost and Qc-variable
Reference description.
Qc- assured , cost effective , wide variety of tests
Commercial snap test kits can predict ?
Heartworm FeLV Tick disease Antifreeze - 24 hr window Parvovirus Pancreatitis Detect specific disease
Hemolysis -
Rupture of blood red cells creating pink to rust discoloration to serum or plasma that interfered w test
Red test tube
No anticoagulant, used for sterile samples
Purple test tube
Contains EDTA
Anticoagulant drug monitoring so gains a clot activator gel
Tiger test tube
SST- serum separator tube
Don’t use for therapeutic drug monitoring contains a clot activator gel
Green
Contains heparin as anticoagulant
Used in house
Blue test tube
Contains anticoagulant sodium citrate
Bleeding disorder
Jugular vein
Preferred for large quantities of. Looks
Saves cephalic vein for Ivs
Cephalic vein
Top front leg
Second choice
