Q

Anemia

A

Group of blood disorders involving either a reduction in number of circulating erythrocytes or amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells; results in decreased oxygen delivery to tissues

51
Q

Anticoagulant

A

any substance that prevents clot formation

52
Q

aplastic anemia

A

Severe form of anemia caused by loss of functioning red bone marrow, results in decrease in number of all blood cells; may require bone marrow transplants

53
Q

Autotransfusion

A

Collecting and storing ones own blood to use to replace blood loss during surgery

54
Q

Blood culture and sensitivity

A

Blood specimen incubated to check for bacterial growth; if bacteria are present, they are identified and best antibiotic treatment is determined

55
Q

Blood transfusion

A

Transfer of blood from one person to another

56
Q

Bone marrow aspiration

A

Removal of small sample of bone marrow by needles and examined for disease such as leukaemia or aplastic anemia

57
Q

Bone marrow transplant

A

Patient receives red bone marrow donation after own bone marrow is destroyed by radiation or chemotherapy

58
Q

Coagulate

A

Formation of blood clot

59
Q

Complete blood count

A

Comprehensive blood test that includes red blood cell count (RBC). White blood cell count (WBC). Hemoglobin (Hgb). Hematocrit (Hct), white blood cell differential and platelet count

60
Q

Embolus

A

Commonly called “floating clot” usually piece of thrombus breaks away and floats through blood stream until it lodges in a smaller blood vessel and blocks blood flow

61
Q

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate

A

Blood test that measures rate at which RBC’s settle out of blood to form sediment in bottom of test tube; indicates the presence of inflammatory disease

62
Q

Hematocrit

A

Blood tests that measures volume of red blood cells within total volume of blood

63
Q

Hematoma

A

Collection of blood under skin as a result of blood escaping into tissue from damaged blood vessel commonly called bruise

64
Q

Hemoglobin

A

Blood test that measures amount of hemoglobin present in given volume of blood

65
Q

Hemophilia

A

Inherited lack of a vital clotting factor; result in almost complete inability to stop bleeding

66
Q

Iron deficiency anemia

A

Anemia resulting when there is not enough iron to build hemoglobin for red blood cells

67
Q

Leukaemia

A

Cancer of leukocyte-forming red bone marrow, patient has large number of abnormal and immature leukocytes circulating in the blood

68
Q

Pernicious anemia

A

Anemia resulting when digestive system absorbs insufficient amount of vitamin B12; vitamin necessary for erythrocyte production

69
Q

Phlebotomy

A

Removal of blood specimen from vein of laboratory tests; called venipunctures

70
Q

Platelet count

A

Blood test that determines number of platelets in given volume of blood

71
Q

Polycythemia vera

A

Condition characterized by too many erythrocytes; blood becomes too thick to flow easily through blood vessels

72
Q

Prothrombin Time

A

Blood test that measures how long it takes for clot to form after prothrombin a blood clotting protein is activated

73
Q

Red Blood Cell Count (RBC)

A

Blood test that determines number of erythrocytes in volume of blood, decrease may indicate anemia; increase may indicate polycythemia vera

74
Q

Septicaemia

A

Presence of bacteria or their toxins in bloodstream; commonly called blood poisoning

75
Q

Sequential Multiple Analyzer Computer (SMAC)

A

Machine that performs multiple blood chemistry tests automatically

76
Q

Serum

A

Blood that has had formed elements and clotting factors removed

77
Q

Sickle Cell Anemia

A

Inherited blood cell disorder in which erythrocytes take on an abnormal curved or “sickle” shape cells are fragile and easily damaged resulting in anemia occurs almost exclusively in person of African descent

78
Q

Thalassemia

A

Blood condition

79
Q

Thrombolytic therapy

A

Administering medication to dissolve blood clot and restore normal circulation

80
Q

White Blood Cell Count (WBC)

A

Blood test that determines number of leukocytes in volume of blood; increase may indicate infection or leukaemia decrease may be caused by soma diseases, radiation therapy or chemotherapy

81
Q

White blood cell differential

A

Blood test determines number of each type of leukocyte
