1. Bleeding Time

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


? It is the time taken from the puncture of the

blood vessel to the stoppage of bleeding.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? The bleeding time test is a useful tool to test

for platelet plug formation and capillary
integrity.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? BT is more imp. than CT.

? CT concerns the blood only i.e. how firm

the the clot is formed, whereas BT involves

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

the interaction of blood with the injured
tissues.
Duke Method

? With the Duke method, the patient is

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


pricked with a special needle or lancet,
preferably on the earlobe or fingertip,
after having been swabbed with alcohol.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? The prick is about 3-4 mm deep. The

patient then wipes the blood every 30
seconds with a filter paper.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? The test ends when bleeding stops. The

usual time is about 2-6 minutes.
Ivy method

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Clean the anterior surface of the forearm with spirit.
? The blood pressure cuff is placed on the upper arm

and inflated to 40 mmHg.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? A lancet or scalpel blade is used to make a shallow

incision that is 1 millimeter deep on the anterior of
the forearm.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? The time from when the incision is made until all

bleeding has stopped is measured and is called the
bleeding time. Every 30 seconds, filter paper or a
paper towel is used to draw off the blood.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? Normal BT by this method is 3-6 minutes.


Bleeding Time

Bleeding Time

? A prolonged bleeding time may be a result from

decreased number of thrombocytes or impaired

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

blood vessels.

? Bleeding time is affected by platelet function,

certain vascular disorders and von Willebrand

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Disease, not by other coagulation factors.

? Diseases that cause prolonged bleeding time include

thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

coagulation (DIC).

? Aspirin and other cyclooxygenase inhibitors can

prolong bleeding time significantly.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Bleeding Time

? People with von Willebrand disease usually

experience increased bleeding time.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


? Von Willebrand factor is a platelet agglutination

protein, but this is not considered an effective
diagnostic test for this condition.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? It is also prolonged in hypofibrinogenemia.
? Many experts regard the bleeding time as useless, in

that it does not predict surgical bleeding.

2. Clotting Time

? It is the time taken from the puncture of the blood

vessel to the formation of a fibrin thread.

? A. Capillary Glass Tube Method : Here the blood is

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

collected in capillary tube & total time is noted to
form FIBRIN THREADS on breaking tube every 30
seconds. N : 3-8 minutes

? B. Lee & White method : Here venous blood is

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


collected in 8 mm diameter glass tube, rocked in a
water bath at 37?C & time is noted from the time of
vene puncture till the blood stops flowing. N : 6-12
minutes.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Clotting Time

? Mechanism Involved is INTRINSIC Pathway.
? CT depends on presence of all clotting factors.
? It gets prolonged in :

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


- 1. Deficiency of clotting factors ? Hemophilia.
- 2. Vitamin K Deficiency ? Factor II, VII, IX & X.
- 3. Anticoagulant overdose.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? BT & CT is measured before surgery & liver or

bone marrow biopsy.

? PURPURA : BT increased, CT normal.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? HEMOPHILIA : BT normal, CT increased.
