Q

Procedure in venous blood

A

-clean the skin with 70%alcohol
-apply tourniquet to prevent the blood from flowing
-clench the fist,tap the veins so veins become prominent
-disposable syringe
Needle-21 for adult and 23for children
-needle insert,resistance releases
-loose the tornequent, withdraw the syringe
-pour blood to the container after withdrawing
-to prevent hemolysis, mix blood with anticoagulant

Q

Procedure for taking blood from capillary

A

-if skin is cold dip in warm water
-sterilize lateral side and take blood from index/ring finger with 70%alcohol and let it dry
-don’t use index and thumb bcz it is more sensitive
-with a sterile make 2 to 3mm puncture deep
-blood flows freely .Better discard first drop
-to avoid mixing with tissue fluid, apply pressure without squeezing

-prevent platelets cloating
Routine anticoagulant 7sed in hematology

17
Q

Disadvantages of EDTA

A

-more expensive
-not used for coagulation studies
-excess of 2mg/ml cause shrinkage of red cells,MCHC ^
PCV decrease

18
Q

K oxalate not used in

A

-hb estimation
-RBC Count
-PCV
-ESR
-Examination of cell morphology

19
Q

Nh3 oxalate not used in

A

-Hb estimation
-RBC count
-ESR ,blood smear
-PCV

20
Q

Con req for oxalates

A

K oxalate-3 mg/ml
Nh3 oxalate-2 mg/ml
Double-2mg/ml

21
Q

Double oxalate called balanced oxalate. Comment

A

Wintrobes mixture in 2:3 ratio
The shrinking and swelling are balanced

22
Q

Advantage of oxalate

A

-easily available
-less expensive
-prevent hemolysis
-maintain blood volume

23
Q

Disadvantages of oxalates

A

-RBC morphology not preserved
-oxalate is toxic.so oxalated blood not used for transfusion

24
Q

Citrates

A

Trisodium citrate (3.8 in 1:4 ratio for ESR by westegrnis method)
ACD(16 ml for 100 units)
CPD(14 ml in 100 ml blood)

25
Q

Use of TSC

A

Used in coagulation studies
(Effect reversible by addition of ca ++)

26
Q

How to use ACD

A

Solution placed in clean bottles
Sealed and then autoclaved

27
Q

Advantage of citrate

A

Non toxic
So used for transfusion

28
Q

Disadvantages of oxalates

A

Liquid anticoagulants
So not used for
-hb estimation
-cell count
Cz it causes dilution of blood

29
Q

Heparin

A

Naturally occurring anticoagulant
-normally in small amount
-micropolysaccharide
-available as k,lithium, and ammonium salts
-con req,0.1 to 0.2 mg/ml of blood
-not used in routine ,expensive

30
Q

Heparin is antitheombin in action comment.

A

Inhibit the formation of theombin

31
Q

Advantage of heparin

A

-Osmotic fragility test
-electrolytic estimation
-blood gas analysis
-blood transfusion in open heart surgery

32
Q

Disadvantages

A

-very expensive
-not used in blood smear,hot climatic
-prevent coagulation in limited time
-prevent
-blood collected in heparin transferred within 48 hours

33
Q

Preparation of EDTA

A

Prepare 10%to keep solution
That is 1 mg/0.01 ml h20

To collect2 ml blood dispense 0.04 ml stock soln into bottle and evaporate to degenerat
Do not cap during drying
