MODULE 8 Flashcards
Determines Blood Type and Rh factor
Blood Bank: Blood Type and Screen
Checks the compatibility between the donor’s and the recipient’s blood
Blood Bank: Cross-Match Test
Determines the presence of infection, identifies the type or organism involved, and measures the extent of infection
Blood culture
Evaluates the blood clotting function
Coagulation Test
Screens for diabetes and other metabolic disorders
2-hour Postprandial Glucose
Diagnoses problems in carbohydrate metabolism and checks the ability to metabolize glucose through the tolerance level
Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) and Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
Determines the lack of mucosal lactase which is responsible for conversion of lactose into glucose
Lactose Tolerance Test
Verifies the probability that the patient fathered a particular child
Paternity/Parentage Testing
Tests the drug levels at specific intervals to establish proper drug dosage and avoid toxicity
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
Treats polycythemia and hemochromatosis
Therapeutic Phlebotomy
Checks the presence of toxins in the blood, hair, urine, and other substances
Toxicology Test
Checks the presence of aluminum, arsenic, copper, lead, iron, and zinc
Trace Elements
Highest priority where specimens must be collected immediately and delivered to the laboratory immediately
STAT Sample
Average time for STAT Sample to complete
45 minutes to 1 hour
Tests that exhibit a diurnal effect, where values in the patient vary throughout the day, are serum iron, corticosteroids, and other hormones.
Timed Sample
Second or third priority
ASAP sample
Average time for ASAP Sample to be collected
2 to 4 hours
Collected in a reasonable time after being ordered but there is no urgency in getting the samples collected
Routine Sample
Blood Bank specimen is collected in what type of tube?
Lavender or Pink top
If there is no available lavender or pink EDTA for blood bank, what is the alternative tube to be used?
Red topped
What are the rejected specimen/s for blood bank?
- not labeled
-grossly hemolyzed
-contain IV fluid - collected longer than 72 hours before testing
test performed using the patient’s type and screen results to help select a donor unit of blood.
Cross match
due to agglutination (clumping) and lysis (rupturing) of RBCs within a patient’s circulatory system.
Incompatibility
True or false:
Donor Red Cells and Patient Plasma have no reaction is called compatible
True
