39
Q

Why do we do a Retic count

A

to determine the bone marrow’s response to anemia

40

47
Q

How do you spin a crit tube

A

6000 rpm for 5 min

48
Q

What is done on 10x in the feathered edge

A

WBC distribution Adequate size

50
Q

What is done on 40x in the monolayer

A

WBC diff Begin morphology

51
Q

What is done on 100x oil in the monolayer

A

RBC/WBC Morphology - size, shape, color, +/- inclusions. Always quantify as mild, mod, marked Plt assessment - 8-30 app adequate - < 8 app decreasd - > 30 app increased
