Hematology 1 Flashcards
“HAIMA” means
Blood
“LOGOS” means
science/study
Specific gravity of blood
1.055 SG
Hematology
Study of blood forming units
Ph of the blood
7.35-7.45 (slightly alkaline)
Skin puncture
also known as you capillary puncture, or dermal puncture
- use only when small quantities of blood is needed
- preferred sample for newborn screening
Recommended depth skin puncture
infants: <2mm
adults: 2-2.5mm
When doing skin puncture:
-warming the puncture site (40-42C for 2 to 5 min) to increase blood flow by 7-FOLD and to ARTERIALIZE the sample
Order of draw for skin puncture
- ——– BSLOR ——-
- Blood gas analysis sample
- slide smear
- lavender micro-collection tube
- other tubes with anticoagulant
- serum collection tube
Puncture site:
- INFANTS: median or lateral side of the plantar surface of the heel
- ADULTS: palmar surface, distal portion of the 3rd or 4th finger of the non-dominant hand
what is the vein of choice when performing routine venipuncture?
median cubital vein,
- it is also connects cephalic and basilic vein
- less movement of your vein
Angle of the needle
15-30 angle
Tourniquet application
<1 minutes
and 3-4 inches above the venipuncture site
Note: if tourniquet is left on the arm for more than 2 minutes, expect to have H (hemolysis), H (hemoconcentration), dCT (decrease clotting time)
Standard needle length
1-1.5 inches
Standard needle gauge
21 gauge
NOTE: the bigger the number the smaller the bore
Complication of venipuncture
- Ecchymosis: primary complication, leakage of SMALL amount of blood
- Syncope: 2nd most common
- Hematoma: Leakage of LARGE amount of blood that rapidly swells
order of draw for venipuncture
Yellow, Light blue, Red, Green , Lavender, Gray
- Yellow- SPS/ACD, 8times
- Light Blue- Sodium citrate, 1:9 ration, 3-4 times
- Red- Glass or silica particles, 5 times
- Green- heparin, 8 times
-lavender- k2(VERSENE)
k3 (SEQUESTRENE), 8 times
-Gray- potassium oxalate and sodium fluoride, 8 times
All blood cells are derived from a single progenitor stem cell (pluripotential stem cell) which carries your CD marker 34
Monophyletic Theory
Blood cells are derived from its own unique stem cell
Polyphyletic Theory
-chief site of hemopoiesis: YOLK SAC
-during 9 days of gestation the yolk sac would give rise to Primitive erythroblast
from the MESODERMAL CELLS
- during this stage you will be able to find you HSCs, Fetal Hgb, Gower 1, Gower 2, portland
Mesoblastic Stage
chief site of hemopoiesis: LIVER
- peak activity at the 3rd month of gestation
- Spleen, thymus, and lymph node
Hepatic Stage
Chief site of hemopoiesis: BONE MARROW
-begins 5th month of gestation and continuous throughout life (hematopoiesis from the flat bones)
medullary Stage
Examples of your flat bone and THE MAIN SITE OF HEMATOPOIESIS
- RIBS
- VERTEBRA
- STERNUM
- SKULL
- SHOULDER BLADES
- PELVIS
- PROXIMAL ENGD OF LONG BONES
note: Limited only to your red marrow
- and the only haematopoietically active site for adult hematopoiesis
marrow cellularity
-collecting bone marrow aspirate
more than 70%, incase of leukemia, Increase WBC, RBC
Hyperplastic
Hypoplastic
<30%
incases of your aplastic anemia
complete reduction of RBC and WBC
myeloid to erythroid ration
2-4:1 ratio
