    What tests are done using the Lt. Blue tube:

    • PTT and PTA

    • PTT and ESP

    • PTT and TB

    • PTT and PT

    Correct Answer
    A. PTT and PT
    Explanation
    The Lt. Blue tube is used to perform two tests: PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time) and PT (Prothrombin Time). These tests are used to evaluate the clotting ability of the blood and to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy. The Lt. Blue tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant, which prevents the blood from clotting by binding to calcium ions. This allows for accurate measurement of clotting times in the laboratory. The PTT test measures the time it takes for blood to clot through the intrinsic pathway, while the PT test measures the time it takes for blood to clot through the extrinsic pathway.

    What is the most important thing to remember when doing a capillary puncture?

    • PPE, mask, google and microscope panes

    • Excessively milking the finger during a skin puncture can result in full tubes for testing. Also hemolysis and contamination of the specimen with tissue cells

    • Excessively milking the finger during a skin puncture can result in hemolysis and contamination of the specimen with tissue fluids

    • Hemolysis and contamination of the specimen with tissue fluids due to not enough excessive milking of the finger

    Correct Answer
    A. Excessively milking the finger during a skin puncture can result in hemolysis and contamination of the specimen with tissue fluids
    Explanation
    Excessively milking the finger during a skin puncture can result in hemolysis and contamination of the specimen with tissue fluids. This means that if too much pressure is applied to the finger during the puncture, it can cause the red blood cells to break down (hemolysis) and mix with the fluid surrounding the tissues. This can lead to inaccurate test results and contamination of the specimen. Therefore, it is important to be cautious and avoid excessive milking of the finger during a capillary puncture to ensure the integrity of the specimen.
