Hematocrit (Hct) Test , Packed Cell Volume

Image
1. Objective The objective of the test was to determine the percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) in a given volume of blood, which helped assess anemia, polycythemia, and hydration status. 2. Principle The principle of the hematocrit test was based on the separation of blood components by centrifugation. When anticoagulated blood was centrifuged, red blood cells settled at the bottom, plasma remained at the top, and a thin buffy coat of white blood cells and platelets appeared in between. The packed cell volume (PCV) was measured as a percentage of the total blood volume. 3. Materials • Capillary tubes (heparinized or plain) • Anticoagulated blood (EDTA) • Microhematocrit centrifuge • Clay sealant • Ruler or hematocrit reader • Gloves • Disinfectant • Lancet (if using finger prick) 4. Procedure (Microscopic Method) 1. Capillary tubes were filled up to 75% with well-mixed anticoagulated blood. 2. One end of each tube was sealed with clay. 3. The tubes were placed in the micr...

Urine Test (General/Macroscopic, Chemical, and Microscopic Examination)  1. Objective: The objective of the urine test was to assess the physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics of a urine sample to aid in the diagnosis of renal, metabolic, and systemic conditions. 2. Principle : The test was based on the analysis of urine through three components: • Physical examination for color, clarity, and volume • Chemical examination using reagent strips to detect substances like glucose, protein, ketones, etc. • Microscopic examination of centrifuged urine sediment to detect cells, crystals, and microorganisms 3. Materials : • Fresh urine sample in a sterile container • Urine reagent strip (dipstick) • Centrifuge and test tubes • Microscope and slides with cover slips • Glass rod or pipette • Gloves READ ALSO: Bleeding Time (BT) Test 4. Procedure: A. Physical Examination: 1. The color, clarity, and odor of the urine were noted. 2. The volume was measured i...

Bleeding Time (BT) Test

Image
1. Objective : The objective of the Bleeding Time (BT) test was to evaluate the time taken for small blood vessels to stop bleeding after a standardized skin puncture, thus assessing platelet function and vascular integrity. 2. Principle : The test was based on the principle that bleeding time reflects platelet plug formation at the site of vascular injury. Any defect in platelet number, function, or vessel wall integrity prolonged the bleeding time. 3. Materials : Sterile lancet or bleeding time device Stopwatch Filter paper (Whatman No. 1) Sphygmomanometer Alcohol swab Ruler Cotton and adhesive bandage 4. Procedure (Duke’s Method or Ivy’s Method): (Ivy’s Method – more standard): 1. The patient’s forearm was cleaned and a blood pressure cuff was inflated to 40 mmHg. 2. A standardized incision (usually 5 mm long, 1 mm deep) was made on the volar surface using a lancet. 3. The stopwatch was started immediately. 4. Every 30 seconds, the blood was gently blotted with filter pa...
