FIRST PART Flashcards
Total blood volume in adult
5-6 liters or 7-8% total body weight
causes of hypovolemia
- lose whole blood (blood lose)
- lose of plasma
- dehydration
causes of hypervolemia
- blood transfusion
- intravenous fluid
liquid portion of clotted blood
serum
liquid portion of anticoagulated blood
plasma
Action of EDTA
prevents coagulation by chelating calcium
inversion EDTA
8-10x
most commonly used anticoagulant in hematology
EDTA
anticoagulant of choice of CBC
EDTA
concentration of EDTA
1.5 mg/mL
EDTA cannot be used for coagulation because
it interferes with Factor 5 and thrombin-fibrinogen reaction
liquid form EDTA
sequestrene
preparation of blood films using EDTA up to how many hours?
2-3 hours
Anticoagulant of MODIFIED WESTERGREEN ESR
EDTA
What is platelet satellitosis
Platelet adhere PMNS
Platelet encircling the peripheral borders of neutrophil
Platelet satellitosis
remedy for platelet satellitosis
rpt. platelet count using citrate then multiply the obtain platelet count by 1.1
Excessive concentration of EDTA causes
shrinkage of RBC leading to decreased HCT and ESR increased MCHC but normal hemoglobin
- cause degenerative changes of WBC also platelet will swell and break eventually cause falsely elevated platelet count due to broken fragments
Changes in blood at room temp after 3 hours
- Degenerative cellular changes
- WBC’s may show vacuolation of the cytoplasm , poorly defined cytoplasmic borders, irregular shape of nuclei
- platelet increase in size then distegrates
Changes in blood at room temp after 6 hours
- RBC swells(increase MCV)
- Decrease ESR
- Increased OFT
inversion: sodium citrate
3-4
What is the action of sodium citrate
prevents coagulation by binding calcium of the blood in a soluble complex
temp for refrigeration of blood
4 degree C
anticoagulant and blood ration of sodium citrate
1:9
concentration of sodium citrate
0.109 (3.2%) sodium citrate
dilution: sodium citrate
1:10
buffered 0.109 M citrate increase the stability of
FACTORS 5 and 8
formula to determine the amount of sodium citrate
100-hematocrit over 595 -hematocrit x mL of whole blood used
anticoagulant/blood ratio: black tube
1:4
Orig/standard westergreen ESR
black tube
