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 testfor 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 injuredtissues.
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. Thepatient then wipes the blood every 30
seconds with a filter paper.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? The test ends when bleeding stops. Theusual 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 shallowincision 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 allbleeding 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
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
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
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
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 toform 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 orbone marrow biopsy.
? PURPURA : BT increased, CT normal.
