A

Bleeding time

21

Rhesus (RH)

27
Q

Clinical importance of knowing blood group

A

Used in medicolegal cases to settle paternal disputes

28
Q

______________, _______________ and _____________ are reagents used in the estimation of prothrombin time

A

Plasma samples
Thromboplastin
Calcium-Chloride 0.025m

29
Q

Thromboplastin used in the estimation of prothrombin time is obtained from ______________

A

Human or rabbit brain tissue

30
Q

Outline the method of prothrombin time estimation

A

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
Q

Normal range of prothrombin time is about _______________

A

10-14 seconds

32
Q

What is Erythrocyte sedimentation rate?

A

This is the rate at which red blood cells settle in a collected blood sample

33
Q

Why do RBCs settle at the bottom of a blood sample instead of Plasma?

A

This is because RBCs have a greater specific gravity

34
Q

2 factors affecting velocity of ESR

A

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
Q

ESR is used to ________________

A

Measure the progression of chronic diseases e.g.Rheumatism, tuberculosis

36
Q

Normal range of ESR in males is __________

A

0-5mm/hr

Q

Normal range of ESR in females is __________

A

0-7mm/hr

38
Q

True/False

A

False
PCV in males= 45%
PCV in females= 42%
