Q

Primary fibrinolysis is difficult to distinguish from secondary because?

A

Primary usually decreased but still in normal range

46
Q

What is the principle of the fibrometer

A

completion of an electrical circuit between 2 electrodes by formation of a clot

47
Q

What is the principle of the Coagulyzer, Coag-A-mate, MLA

A

detection of optical density changes in a cuvet by the photocell when clot is formed

48
Q

Bleeding time test, what is it used for and is it performed

A

assess plt function and ability to form a clot

make a puncture wound in the superficial area and monitor the time needed to stop

49
Q

Clot retraction, what it’s used for and what conditions does it indicate?

A

Fibrinogen and Hct must be normal
measures time for clot to lyse 0-2 hours
thrombocytopenia and Glanzmanns thrombasthenia

50
Q

Which factors have an enzymatically active form

A

not V, VII, XIII

Q

What is used in substitution testing

A

absorped plasma and aged serum

pinpoints factor deficiencies

52
Q

How is sunstitution testing done
