| Autologous transfusion | Blood transfusion of a patient’s own blood into the patient. |
| Bacteremia | The presence of bacteria in the blood. |
| Blood culture | Blood test that looks for bacteria in the blood |
| Brachial artery | Major artery inb the arm |
| Cannula | A tubular instrument used to obtain venous blood for dialysis or collection |
| Central intravenous line | CVC. Central Venous Catheter. |
| Femoral artery | major artery in the leg |
| Fever of unknown origin (FUO) | Patient has a rise in body temperature without any evidence of the cause. |
| Fistula | Surgical fusion of a vein and and an artery. This is a permanent connection tube for patients undergoing kidney dialysis. |
| Glucose tolerance test (GTT) | Blood sugar test that measure the patient’s ability to tolerate a 100gm challenge of sugar. |
| Hyperventilation | Rapid breathing |
| Intravenous (IV) catheter | An IV is a tubing used to infuse fluids into the patient’s vein. The skin has a needle inserted into the vein and the other end of the tubing has the infusion liquid. |
| Lactose tolerance test | A breath test used to determine if a patient can tolerate milk sugar (lactose). |
| Modified Allen test | A test done before performing a blood gas. This test determines if the patient has collateral circulation in the radial and ulna arteries. |
| Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) | An intravenous tubing used to infuse medications and is used to obtain blood specimens. |
| Post prandial glucose test (2hr. pp) | A glucose test where blood is drawn (usually 2 hours) after a prescribed meal. The test can determine the patient’s ability to tolerate glucose and help diagnose diabetes. |
| Radial artery | Larger of the two arteries in the wrist. The radial is on the side of the thumb. |
| Septicemia | Infection in the blood. This is not just the presence of bacteria. In this case the bacteria are multiplying and causing symptoms. |
| Sodium polyanethole sulfonate (SPS | This is an additive in the yellow top tube used to collect blood for blood cultures. An anticoagulant that reduces the activity of some antibiotics; it inhibits the WBC phagocytosis |
| Phagocytosis | the process of WBC to kill bacteria by engulfing the bacterial particle. |
| Therapeutic phlebotomy | Phlebotomy used to reduce the amount of blood in a patient that has polycythemia. |
| Polycythemia | A condition in which the patient over produces the RBC. |
| Capillary blood gas | Capillary blood collection that measures the oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH of blood. |
| Gestational diabetes | Diabetes that develops during pregnancy |
| Glucola | A sugar drink used in the GTT |
| Figure 156, Page 467 | Shows the typical graph of glucose results in a GTT test |
| ABGs are transported on... | crushed ice |
| TDM | Therapeutic drug monitoring. Test that determines the level of a drug in a patient before (trough level) and after (peak level) it is given. |
| collateral | Next to each other. (side by side) |
| Trace metals | Metals that occur in extremely small amounts. Some tests are for nutritional deficiencies and other for toxic levels of metals. |
| Tube for trace metals (elements) | Tan is used for lead. Royal blue is used for all other trace metals. These tubes are acid washed to remove any metals |
| Genetic Molecular testing | Testing the patient's DNA (genes). The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder |
| VAD | vascular access device |
| Skin prep for blood cultures | (1) 60 sec. scrub with 70% isopropyl; (2) 30 sec. scrub with iodine. |
| Bottles for blood culture | Aerobic (for oxygen loving bacteria) and Anaerobic (for bacteria killed by oxygen). When collecting, fill the aerobic bottle first. |
