Question | Answer |
---|---|
Additive | added to help with certain results |
Aliquot | speciem that has been taking for storage. |
anticoagulant | allows blood not to clot. |
Buffy coat | contains a mixture of leukocytes and thromboyctes which are lighter and less numerous than the red blood cells |
cannula | fills the inside of a needle vertually blunting the tip. |
centrifuge | speeds the removal of serum from a tube of blood. |
constrict | less blood flow |
Hematology | study of blood and it's components |
Phlebotomy | process of collecting blood |
Venipuncture | now used to help determine the disease process taking place to determine the method of treatment |
Oxygenated | arterial blood, which contains a high level of oxygen leaves heart and carries the oxygen to the tissue by releasing the oxygen through the cell walls of the capilliaries |
dilate | let off heat opens |
serum | portion that is extracted |
vacuum tube | routing collection fast does not work on small veins fragile veins diffcult draws small children hand or feet draw |
Butterfly assembly | small fragile veins |
syringe | children infant not good for dehyrdrated patients |
red top | no additive effects blood clots and the serum is separated by centrifugation uses chemistries immunolgy and serology blood bank |
light green top | plasma separating tube Na heperin anticoagulants with lithium heperin plasma separated with PST gel at the bottom of the tube used for chemistries |
red gray | serum separating tube SST with clot activator forms clot quickly and separates the serum with SST gel at the bottom of the tube uses blood type screening and chemistries |
Lavender | EDTA forms calcium salts to remove calcium uses hematology CBC and blood bank crossmatch requires a full draw invert 8 times to prevent clotting and platelet clumping |
Gold Top | separating gel and clot activator serum separator tube SST contains gel at the bottom to separate the blood from serum centrifugation uses serology endcrine immunology including HIV |
Light Blue | sodium citrate Na Citrate forms calcium salts to remove calcium coagulation tests PT PTT TCT CMV tube must be filled 100% |
Dark Green | sodium heparin or lithium heparin inactivates thrombin and thromboplastin uses ammonia lactate HLA typing for lithium level uses sodium heparin for ammonia level use sodium or lithium heparin |
Yellow top | ACD acid citrate dextose complement inactivation uses paternity testing DNA studies |
Dark Blue | Sodium heparing or Na2 EDTA forms calcium salts tube is designed to contain no contaminating metals uses toxicology and trace elements testing and drug level testing |
Tan | sodium heparin inactivates thrombin and thromboplastin uses serum lead determination |
light gray | sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate antiglycolytic agent preserves glucose up to 5 day uses lithium leve use sodium heparin glucoses requires a full draw |
black top | sodium citrate forms calcium slats to remove calcium uses wetergren sedimentation rate requires a full draw |
Orange | thrombin quickly clots blood uses STAT serum chemistries |
1 | yellow top/blood culture tube or vials |
2 | light blue top/sodium citrate |
3 | red top/serum tubes |
4 | green tops/heparin tube |
5 | lavender top/EDTA tubes |
6 | gray top/glycolytic inhibioter |
7 | dark blue/FDP |
