Bleeding time diagnose what?
vWD
The result is directly affected by plt count and the plt’s ability to form a hemostatic plug
Bleeding time
Factors that affect bleeding time
Elasticity of cut tissue
Ability of the blood vessels to constrict and retract
Mechanical and chemical action of plts in the formation of hemostatic plug
Screening for plt functions
Ivy’s method
Modification of Ivy method. Cut is exactly 9mm long and puncture is 1 mm
Template Method
Considered best screening test
Template method
Incision is 5 mm long and deep is 1 mm. Similar to template method. Difference is the use of an instrument to produce a standardized incision.
Simplate method
Both methods involve immersions of the warmed wounded finger in a sterile NSS at 37 until bleeding stops
Copy Lalitch Method
Adelson-Crosby method
Normal value for Coply Lalitch Method and Adelson-Crosby Method
179-340 seconds
Similar with Adelson Crosby, only it uses the ear lobe as the site of puncture.
Aspirin Tolerance Test
Def. of Vit. C
Scurvy
Abnormally low plt count
Less than 100,000/ uL
Severe spontaneous bleeding plt count
Less than 5000/uL
Bleeding possible with trauma plt count
30,000/uL - 50,000 /uL
Spontaneous bleeding possible plt count
Less than 30,000/uL
Measures the adhesion of platelets to the wound surface.
Borchgrevink
Borchgrevink uses?
Capillary blood and Venous blood
Retention of plts within glass bead columns.
Salzman method
In Salzman method in does not interfere with adhesion.
Heparin
Normal Value of Salzman method
26-60%
PRP containing EDTA is assessed for adhesion collagen in the absence of aggregation.
Test for adhesion of plts to collagen fibers
Estimated qualitatively by microscopic techniques.
Plt aggregation test
A machine that uses a light beam is passed off through the suspension. Monitored by changes in light transmission
Platelet aggregometer
Discoid to spheroid shape
Decrease in transmittance
