Q

The time interval between the puncture of a blood vessel to when there is cessation of bleeding is called ________________

A

Bleeding time

21
Q

What is clotting time?

A

This is the time interval from when blood oozes out from an injury to the formation of clot

22

24
Q

________________, _______________ and _______________ are methods of assessing bleeding time

Simplate

25

26
__________ and ____________ are the important blood group determination systems
ABO Rhesus (RH)
27
Clinical importance of knowing blood group
Blood transfusion Tissue transport Used in medicolegal cases to settle paternal disputes
28
______________, _______________ and _____________ are reagents used in the estimation of prothrombin time
Plasma samples Thromboplastin Calcium-Chloride 0.025m
29
Thromboplastin used in the estimation of prothrombin time is obtained from ______________
Human or rabbit brain tissue
30
Outline the method of prothrombin time estimation
75*10mm tube is placed in a water bath at 37°C 0.1ml of plasma is deposited inside 0.1ml of thromboplastin is added after a 1 minute delay 0.1ml of CaCl 0.025m is added and the mixture is carefully mixed Submerge lower end of tube and start stopwatch Formation of fibrin clot marks the end of the process
31
Normal range of prothrombin time is about _______________
10-14 seconds
32
What is Erythrocyte sedimentation rate?
This is the rate at which red blood cells settle in a collected blood sample
33
Why do RBCs settle at the bottom of a blood sample instead of Plasma?
This is because RBCs have a greater specific gravity
34
2 factors affecting velocity of ESR
Sedimentation rate is directly proportional to size of RBCs Sedimentation rate is inversely proportional to viscosity of plasma Increase in rouleaux formation leads to increase in sedimentation rate
35
ESR is used to ________________
Measure the progression of chronic diseases e.g.Rheumatism, tuberculosis
36
Normal range of ESR in males is __________
0-5mm/hr
37
Normal range of ESR in females is __________
0-7mm/hr
38
Packed cell volume is the same in males as it is in females True/False
False PCV in males= 45% PCV in females= 42%
