Coagulaton Tests and Fibrinolysis Flashcards
Manual techniques
Tilt tube, wire loop
REQUIRES GENTLE TILTING OF THE TUBE BACK AND FORTH AT THE RATE OF ABOUT ONCE PER SECOND UNTIL A FIBRIN WEB IS FORMED.
TILT TUBE METHOD
EMPLOYS THE USE OF A WIRE LOOP THAT IS PASSED THROUGH THE MIXTURE AT THE RATE OF TWO SWEEPS PER SECOND UNTIL A FORMED
CLOT ADHERES TO THE LOOP.
NICHROME WIRE LOOP TECHNIQUE
Automated techniques
MOVING PROBE, OPTICAL DENSITY
A CLOT IS DETECTED EITHER BY USE OF A ______ IMMERSED IN THE MIXTURE THAT IS TRIGGERED BY CLOT FORMATION
MOVING PROBE
A CLOT IS DETECTED EITHER BY USE OF A MOVING PROBE OR BY THE CHANGE IN ____ OF THE MIXTURE WHEN A CLOT FORMS.
OPTICAL DENSITY
SCREEN SECONDARY HEMOSTASIS
(INTRINSIC AND COMMON PATHWAY)
LEE AND WHITE METHOD
LEE AND WHITE METHOD principle
EXPOSE BLOOD TO A NEGATIVELY CHARGED SURFACE
NV FOR LEE AND WHITE METHOD
5-15 min
The surface of the glass tube initiates the Clotting process. This test is sensitive to the factors involved in the intrinsic pathway
Clotting Time - Slide Method
(Intrinsic)
The expected range for Slide Method Clotting Time is
4-10 min.
LABORATORY SCREENING
• PROTHROMBIN TIME
• ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (APTT)
IS A USEFUL SCREENING PROCEDURE FOR THE EXTRINSIC AND COMMON PATHWAY.
PROTHROMBIN TIME
Sample for PROTHROMBIN TIME
CITRATED PLASMA
REAGENT: PROTHROMBIN TIME
TISSUE THROMBOPLASTIN
0.025 MOL/L SOLUTION OF CALCIUM CHLORIDE.
NORMAL RANGE: PROTHROMBIN TIME
10-15 SEC
MEASURES ALL FACTORS IN THE INTRINSIC
AND COMMON PATHWAY EXCEPT FACTOR XIII (fibrin stabilizing) AND PLATELETS.
ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (APTT)
ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (APTT) SAMPLE:
CITRATED PLASMA
ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (APTT) REAGENT:
PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN, CALCIUM CHLORIDE, ACTIVATORS
ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (APTT) ACTIVATORS:
SILICA, KAOLIN, ELLAGIC ACID, CELITE
ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (APTT) NORMAL RANGE:
28-46 SEC
MEASURES THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNCTIONAL FIBRINOGEN OR DECREASED AMOUNT (75-100 MG/DL). AFFECTED BY HEPARIN.
THROMBIN TIME (TT)
