Q

 applicable only to normocytic, normochromic red cells
 Used as a random check

A

Rule of Three

79
Q

MACROHEMATOCRIT METHOD BASIC EQUATIONS

A

 3 x RBC = Hb
 3 x Hb = Hct (+/- 3%)

80
Q

decreases Hct values because of shrinkage of rbcs

A

 Excess anticoagulant

81
Q

may increase of decrease Hct depending on which part of the specimen (plasma or cells) is principally drawn into the microhct tube

A

 Insufficient mixing of blood prior to obtaining Hct sample

82
Q

decreases Hct because of leakage of specimen; erythrocyte loss is greater than plasma loss

A

 Improper sealing of capillary tube

83
Q

increases Hct. Results should be read within 10 mins after centrifugation.

A

 Inadequate centrifugation or allowing tubes to stand too long after the centrifugation

84
Q

increases the Hct.

A

 Including a large buffy coat in the reading

85
Q

increases or decreases the reading

A

 Improper use of the microhematocrit reader

86
Q

may damage the blood sample.

A

 Heat sealing of capillary tubes

87
Q

may cause the Hct to be falsely increased by as much as 0.02 L/L.

A

 Trapped plasma

88
Q

is the small amount of plasma that remains in the rbc portion of the spun. (sickle cell anemia, hypochromic anemia, spherocytosis, macrocytosis, and thalassemia)

A

Trapped plasma

89
Q

(spherocytes and sickle cells interfere with rbc packing)

A

 Certain abnormal rbc shapes

90
Q

Hct and Hb appear normal; therefore, unreliable for evaluation of anemia immediately following acute blood loss.

A

 During the first few hours of acute blood loss

91
Q

which decreases plasma volume  Specimen collection errors may alter the results

A

 Dehydration increased Hct because of fluid loss

92
Q

introduction of interstitial fluid to the sample causes falsely decreased Hct.

A

Hemoconcentration increases Hct

93
Q

blood: 1:251 dilution
NH4OH: 0.007 N

A

OXYHEMOGLOBIN METHOD

94
Q

The water used in the preparation of ammonia solution must
be glass distilled because minute amounts of copper in distilled water or other diluents employed will allow HbO2 to be converted to Hi and lower the values

A

OXYHEMOGLOBIN METHOD

95
Q

ensures mixing and oxygenation of hemoglobin
