Single Tube Method
Hirshboeck method/Castor Oil method

28
Q

mL venous blood in a clean dry centrifuge tube.

A

5mL

29
Q

Insert a coiled wire in the bottom of the tube
( ? mm thick, with a cm diameter coil)

A

1 mm

30
Q

Incubate at 37 oc for ? hour after clotting has occurred.

A

1 hour

31
Q

Gently lift the wire and allow the attached clot to drain for

A

2 minutes

32
Q

Reference range of single tube method

A

44 – 67%

33
Q

Color of serum that appears within the first hour. In 18- 24 hours, the volume varies from 40% to 57% of the total amount of blood.

A

Clear Pale Yellow

34
Q

When the clot is defective ad incapable of proper retraction, the volume of serum is less than ?

A

40%

35
Q

Serum may appear ? after meals or in diabetes and leukemia.

37
Q

Puncture sterilized finger, wipe off first drop, suck 20 ml of blood in a

A

Salhi’s Pipette

38
Q

Start the timing and observe for a visible dimpling or a ? on the surface of the drop of blood. Note the time. This indicates the end front of the test.

A

nipple-like protrusion

39
Q

Clot retraction is reported ? if dimpling happens after 1 hour. Record the time.

A

delayed

41
Q

Also called the tourniquet test,

A

Capillary Fragility test

42
Q

Is a clinical diagnostic method used to assess the fragility of the capillary walls.

A

Capillary Fragility

43
Q

measures platelet’s ability to maintain capillary integrity.

A

capillary fragility

44
Q

The capillary or resistance test can be done using the following methods:

A

Rumpel-Leede/Hess test positive pressure technique/Tourniquet test

Suction Cup/ Petechiometer Method/
