  2. Reticulocyte Count
  3. Peripheral Blood Examination
  4. Sickle Cell Testing
  5. Osmotic Fragility Test (OFT)
  6. Coagulation Tests include
28
Q
  1. Coagulation Tests include
A

a. Prothrombin Time
b. Partial Thromboplastin Time
c. Fibrinogen
d. Factor Analysis

29
Q

ADVANCED HEMA PROCEDURES

A
  1. BM Examination
  2. Cytogenic analysis
  3. Molecular assay
  4. Cytochemical stains (differentiate abnormal cells)
  5. Flow cytometry
30
Q

– decreased platelets, patients may have bleeding problems

-associated with dengue

A

Thrombocytopenia

31
Q

• Ex. haemophilia, sickle cell anemia, G6PD deficiency, thalassemias

A

Inherited haematological diseases

32
Q

Methods of Blood Collection

A
  1. Skin puncture

2. Veni

33
Q
  1. Skin puncture

• Blood sample collected = ?

A

peripheral blood instead of capillary blood

34
Q

• A mixture of capillary, venous, arterial blood with interstitial and intracellular fluid

A

peripheral blood instead of capillary blood

35
Q

peripheral blood Different from venous blood because of admixing of tissue juice which leads to the following: (levels of Hct, Hgb, RBC, Plt, WBC)

A

low Hct,, Hgb, RBC ct, Pit & high WBC

36
Q

disadv of skin punc (3)

A
  • Less amount can be obtained
  • Additional and repeated test cannot be done
  • Hemolyses easily (rupture of RBC)
37
Q

skin punc sites

A

A. Finger (middle or ring)

B. Earlobe

C. Heel or big toe

38
Q

puncture sites

• lateral palmar surface perpendicular to fingerprints (will follow structure of fingerprints)

A

finger (middle or ring)

39
Q
  • for less than 1 y/o

* Lateral portion of the plantar surface of the heel

A

heel

40
Q

puncture site

• Ideal for peripheral smears

A

finger (middle or ring)

41
Q

puncture sites
• Can be arteriolized by: heat (44C), slight flicking with index finger until definite flushing & chemical means (Trefuril paste)

A

earlobe

42
Q

puncture sites
• less free nerve ending, less pain, less tissue juice
• More free flow of blood

A

earlobe

43
Q

puncture sites

• Ideal when searching for abnormal cells (histiocytes in bacterial endocarditis)

A

earlobe

44
Q

Less intimidating puncture site

A

finger (middle or ring)

45
Q

puncture site that isAccessible and easy to manipulate

A

finger (middle or ring)

46
Q

D. Sites to Avoid

A
  • Inflamed & pallor areas
  • Cold & cyanotic areas
  • Congested and edematous areas
  • Scarred & heavily calloused areas
47
Q

lancet must pass through the

A

dermal subcutaneous junction

48
Q

length of lancet for newborns

A

not more than 2.4mm

49
Q
  1. Venipuncture

• Blood sample collected =

A

venous blood

50
Q

manner of inserting a needle attached to a syringe to a palpable vein to collect blood for lab testing

A

veni

51
Q

most widely used blood sample in all lab tests not just in hematology

A

venous blood –

52
Q

• 3 factors involved in good collection
