Differences between Capillary and Venous Blood 1. Blood from a skin puncture is a mixture of blood from arterioles, veins and capillaries, and it contains some interstitial and intracellular fluid. 2. The packed cell volume (PCV), red cell count (RBC) and haemoglobin concentration (Hb) of capillary blood are slightly greater than in venous blood. 3. The total leucocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte counts are higher in capillary blood 4. Conversely, the platelet count appears to be higher in venous than ...
what is blood collection? • It is a process where blood is withdrawn from a patient for medical investigation purposes. • Why do we do this? Blood is collected from patients for analyzing one of the following: 1. Blood cell contents 2. Performing Microbiological tests 3. Performing biochemical tests • What are the blood collection methods? 1. Arterial sampling. 2. Venipuncture sampling. 3. Fingerstick sampling. Arterial sampling • It is when blood is collected from an artery mostly used in ...
Outline Clinical biochemistry Laboratory work flow cycle . Phlebotomy. Quality Control. The Interpretation of Results. 2 . Ass. Lec. Farah S. J 06:17 PM 9/11/22 The Laboratory work flow cycle Every biochemistry analysis should attempts to answer a question which the clinician has posed about the patient obtaining the correct answer can often seem to be fraught with difficulty. So, there are three phases of laboratory testing: Pre-analytical: test ordering, specimen collection, transport and processing Analytical-testing Post-analytical: results transmission, interpretation, follow-up, retesting ...
