Ch. 16 Bone Marrow Examination Flashcards
Collab bet. medtedch and a physician (hematologist or pathologist)
Bone marrow specimen collection
Collected, prior to bm collection, for a CBC w/ blood film exam
Peripheral Blood
Gelatinous and amenable to sampling
Red marrow
Composition of a Bone Marrow specimen
1) Aspirate
2) Core Biopsy Specimen
obtained by BM aspiration
aspirate
obtained by trephine biopsy
Core Biospy Specimen
examined to identify the types and PROPORTIONS OF HEMATOLOGIC CELLS and to look for MORPHOLOGIC VARIANCE
Aspirate
demonstrates BM architecture, spatial relatinshp of hematologic cells to fat, CT, bony strome
Core Biopsy Specimen
used to estimate CELLULARITY
Core Biopsy Specimen
particularly important for evaluating DISEASES that characteristically produce FOCAL LESIONS rather than diffuse involvement of marrow.
Core Biopsy specimen
diseases that produce predominantly FOCAL LESIONS
- Hodgkin lymphoma
- non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- multiple myeloma
- metastatic tumors
- amyloid
- granulomas
cell accumulations that contain Langerhans cells
Granulomas or Granulomatic Lesions
are large, activated granular macrophages that look like epithelial cells
Langerhans Cells
Granulomas signal _____ infection
Chronic infection
Biopsy Sx allows morphologic evaluation of bony spicules, which may reveal changes associated with ____
hyperparathyroidism or Paget disease
this site of BM collection provides adequate red marroow that is isolated from anaomic structures wc are subject to INJURY
Posterior superior iliac crest
same as post. iliac crest but cortical bone is THICKER
Anterior iliac crest
BM site used for BOTH aspirate and core biopsy
Posterior iliac crest
BM site used for a patient who can ONLY lie SUPINE
Anterior iliac crest
below the angle of Lewis at 2nd intercostal space
This provides AMPLE material for Aspiration
Can accidentally damage the heart or great vessels if needle enters the PERICARDIUM
Sternum
only 1 cm thick and cannot be used for core biopsy
Sternum
BM site for CHILDREN younger than age 2
Anterior medial surface of the tibia
BM sites that are RARELY used unless they are the site of a suspicious LESION discovered on radiograph
Spinous process of the vertebrae, ribs or other Red Marrow containing bones
most common side effect to anesthetics during BM collection
Hemorrhage associated with thrombocytopenia
When does the medtech collects VENOUS PERIPHERAL BLOOD prior to bone marrow collection
Less than 24 hrs
Effect on WBC count if peripheral blood is collected after BM collection
elevated (stress)
Usual local anesthetic injection
1% lidocaine (not to exceed 20 mL per patient)
blade used for skin incision
No. 11 scalpel blade
Disposable needles that provide an OBTURATOR, CORE BIOPSY TOOL, and STYLET
1) Jamshidi biopsy needle
2) Westerman-Jensen needle
Biospy needle that has a COIL MECHANISM at the needle tip which allows capture of BM Sx without needle redirection
Snarecoil needle
