Blood Draws

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Waveform   refers to movement away from the isoelectric line either upward(positive) deflection or downward(negative)deflection.  
🗑
Segment   line between two waveforms.  
🗑
Interval   waveform plus a segment.  
🗑
Complex   several waveforms.  
🗑
P wave   the deflection produced by atrial depolarization. The normal P wave in standard, limb, and precordial leads does not exceed ol11s in duration or 2.5mm in height.  
🗑
QRS complex   represents ventricular depolarization(activation). The ventricle is depolarized from the endocardium to the myocardium, to the epicardium.  
🗑
Q wave   the initial negative deflection produced by ventricular depolarization.  
🗑
R wave   the first positive deflection produced by ventricular depolarization.  
🗑
S wave   the first negative deflection produced by the ventricular depolarization that follows the first positive deflection, (R) wave.  
🗑
T wave   the deflection produced by ventricular repolarization.  
🗑
U wave   the deflection seen following the T wave but preceding the next P wave.  
🗑
RR interval   this is the interval between two R waves. P wave plus the PR segment. The normal interval is 0.12-0.2 sec.  
🗑
QRS interval   represents ventricular depolarization time. It should be no more than 0.1 sec. in the limb leads and 0.11 sec. in the precordial leads.  
🗑
PR segment   line from the end of the P wave to the onset of the QRS complex.  
🗑
J (RST) junction:   point at which QRS complex ends and ST segment begins.  
🗑
ST segment   from J point to the onset of the T wave.  
🗑
Order of draw   1. blood cultures 2. light blue top tubes 3. serum or non-additive tube (red or red/gray top tubes) 4. green top tubes 5. lavender top tubes 6. gray top tubes  
🗑
BeCause Better Goals Generate Perfect Specimens   Blood Cultures Blue Green Gray Purple (Lavender)Serum (Red)  
🗑
Order of draw for capillary specimens   1. Lavender tube 2. Tubes with other additives 3. Tubes without additives  
🗑
Lavender top tube   Contains the anticoagulant ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA). EDTA inhibits coagulation by binding to calcium present in the specimen. The tubes must be filled at lease two-thirds full and inverted eight times.  
🗑
Common tests (for lavender)   CBC (Complete Blood Count); Includes; RBC count, WBC count and Platelet count; WBC differential count; Hemoglobin and Hematocrit determinations; ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate); Sickle Cell Screening.  
🗑
Red top tube   Also known as plain vacuum tube and contains no additive or anticoagulant. Collected blood clots by normal coagulation process in 30-60 minutes. There is no need to invert the tube after collection.  
🗑
Common tests (for red):   Serum chemistry tests; Serology tests; Blood bank (glass only)  
🗑
Specimen Requirements   Patient's full name and date of birth, Patient's hospital identification number (SSN for outpatients). Date and time of collection, Medical assistant's initials.  
🗑
Bacteriology   the study of bacteria  
🗑
Parasitology   the study of parasites  
🗑
Mycology   the study of fungi  
🗑
Virology   the study of viruses  
🗑
Anuria   the absence of urine  
🗑
Hematuria   the presence of blood in the urine  
🗑
Polyuria   The passage of large volumes of urine  
🗑
Proteinuria   The presence of excess proteins  
🗑
The routine urinalysis procedure is composed of three parts   a. physical examination b. chemical examination c.microscopic examination  
🗑
Physical examination of urine consists of:   1. Assessing the volume of the urine specimen to determine if it 2. Is adequate for testing 3.Observing the color and appearance (or character) of the 4. specimen 5. Noting the odor 6. Measuring the specific gravity  
🗑
This involves chemical evaluation of the contents of the urine which can be qualitative or quantitative. The chemical testing may involve examination of the following:   Glucose, Keton, Protein, Blood, Bilirubin, Urobilinogen, Nitrite, Leukocye esterase  
🗑
