Bone Marrow Slides

3. At this point, you are ready to begin the lab exercise. Click on the “Information” button on the blood

1) Apply the stain to your first unknown slide and examine it under the microscope.

Blood is drawn four times during the testing hours (30 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, and 3 hour)

To identify red blood cells, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, sickle cell anemia and leukemia.

For patient safety the Universal Protocol is followed prior to all invasive bedside and prior to surgical procedures. This protocol, required by the Joint Commission was developed by a panel of experts to establish critical steps and principles to ensure the correct procedure is performed on the correct patient at the correct site. This protocol has improved patient safety and resulted in improved teamwork. As part of the protocol, as hospital specific pre-operative checklist is reviewed and a bedside timeout is performed prior to the surgery. Unfortunately, not every bone marrow biopsy requires the sam studies and when atypical testing is required, it is up to the requesting team to notify the physician of specific testing that is required.

In this procedure a cotton swab is used and when it has vaginal discharge it is placed in the specimen tube. Then the procedure is done.

Complete blood count- A sample of blood is drawn and checked for the following: 1)The number of red blood cells and platelets. 2)The number and type of white blood cells. 3)The amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells.

A blood sample is required for this test. It is usually collected by inserting a needle into a vein.

The ProCyte Dx Hematology Analyzer provides the most comprehensive complete blood count that is done in house. When operating this machine the first thing one should do is go to any open desktop computer and pull up the patient chart through AvImark. Once the patient chart is pulled up then one will need to add in that a CBC in house will be ran on the patient. Once the information is put in, the patient personal identification information will  automatically be transferred to the IDEXX vet lab station set up next to the ProCyte Dx Hematology analyzer. Once the patient information has come up on the IDEXX vet lab station screen one will then need to click on the patient name and then click on the icon for the ProCyte Dx. After clicking on the

-To collect a Calcium Blood sample you need to start by washing your hands and then collecting the necessary supplies (blood tubes, appropriate needle size and length, tourniquet, alcohol wipes, cotton balls and a band aid). A vein is then selected and the tourniquet should be applied 10cm above the insertion site. The area must be cleansed with alcohol; and once the area is cleansed, the selected tube must be inserted into the needle holder. Insert needle into selected vein and collect your sample. Then fill out the paperwork and place sample into refrigerator. This sample must be collected in a red, tiger top or green top tube.

Performs complex chemical, biological, hematological, immunologic, microscopic, and bacteriologic tests; looks for bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms; matches blood for transfusions; and tests for drug levels in the blood.

The hospital were the samples were collected, was following NICE guidelines with regards the use of mediastinoscopy.

Take all possible precautions to prevent backflow since Blood Exo DNA ProTeck™ contains chemicals. Follow the given instructions to prevent backflow.

Clinical microscopy, also known as urinalysis, is the analysis of urine by physical, chemical, and microscopically means to test for the presence of disease, drugs and other abnormalities in a urine sample. Abnormal results of a urinalysis often require more testing and evaluation to uncover the source of the problem. (Echeverry, 2010). Urinalysis can provide that reflects a patient’s general medical health and also a clinical aspect of the patient. Unlike all other bodily fluids, urine samples are readily available and most of the routine test carried out on urine are simple to carry out using a chemically impregnated strip. For routine collection of urine specimen there are important collection and preservation methods that should be considered including, the container used, the
