Q

Film shape

A

The film is finger shaped, very slightly rounded at the feather edge (widest area for examination), not bullet shaped; this provides the widest area for examination.

Platelet surrounds and adhere around neutrophils.
Platelet satellitism
26
Specimen needed
Wright- or Giemsa-stained blood smear
27
Select an area of the blood film in which most
RBCs are separated from one another with minimal overlapping of RBCs and where platelets are not clumped.
28
Using the -----, count the number of platelets in ,----- and calculate the average number of platelets per field.
100x oil immersion objective 10 consecutive fields
29
To obtain the platelet estimate per µL or mm3 of blood, multiply the average number of platelets per field by
20,000
30
Accurate estimates are possible only when there are no platelet clumps, or at most, rare clumps of
2 to 3 platelets
31
A better estimate is possible using venous blood with ----- as an anticoagulant, in which platelets are evenly distributed and where clumping normally does not occur.
EDTA
32
On average, there are ---- platelets per field with --- red cells.
