This Is a very Important stage in every laboratory, because all the factors that are Involved can affect and\/or destroy components, properties Important to be analyzed, thus Invalidating the final report. Also, the patient management Is very Important, because they expect to be treated with respect, to have the necessary tests performed, to receive precise instructions prior to undergoing tests, to get reliable Results that reflect their clinical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Important procedure to begin with Is the blood collection, with all the technical aspects and precautions that must be considered, as well as the devices used to vein puncture, a couple of videos showing lab professionals drawing blood with these devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, some Information about anticoagulants Is going to be reviewed, since most of the hematology lab work needs the preservation of blood cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"desarrollo-del-tema\">Content development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pre-analytical phase:<\/strong> It includes all the steps from the time the laboratory test is requested until it is executed; it is a very broad phase that includes processes both outside and inside the clinical laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common errors are present in the request form for the test and during the <em>in vitro<\/em> examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Must be performed in agreement with the requesting physicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special conditions of the patient are needed for the performance of the study. Stages of the pre-analytical phase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Analytical request<\/li><li>Patient preparation<\/li><li>Identification and collection of samples<\/li><li>Handling, transport, and storage<\/li><li>Reception, preparation, and distribution<\/li><li>Rejection of invalid samples<\/li><li>Referral to external laboratories&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifications of the test request form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Complete patient identification<\/li><li>Requesting Physician<\/li><li>Tests requested&nbsp;<\/li><li>Type of biological material<\/li><li>Date and if necessary, time<\/li><li>Priority (Emergency or routine)<\/li><li>Clinical information needed (medication or drug intake, antimicrobial therapy).<\/li><li>Presumptive diagnosis.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Errors in the conditions of blood collection and clinical specimen collection: These are the most frequent errors that occur in the pre-analytical phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy to solve these errors, which mainly occur outside the clinical laboratory, is training. Training phlebotomists through courses or workshops that provide information on the conditions under which blood draws should be performed and how to question the patient about the regular intake of medications, fasting time, etc. Personnel outside the clinical laboratory should be aware of the importance of the correct performance of this phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"blood-collection\">Blood collection:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the cell count is affected by the state of the blood circulation, the conditions under which the blood samples are taken should always be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood should be drawn at the same time of day and after an 8-hour fasting period, as both nutritional status and circadian rhythm can affect the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ethical-aspects\">Ethical Aspects:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The person should be informed that a sample is planned to be obtained, the type of sample, the tests to be performed on the sample, and the results expected and obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to obtain the consent of this person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The type of consent can be verbal or written, according to the objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case that the intention is to know the health status, it can be verbal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it is for research purposes, the consent must be stated in writing, indicating the procedure and the repercussions it may have for your person (especially if it is a sample for DNA analysis or HIV identification), and the acceptance form must have a consent signature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sites of venous blood collection:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.08.42.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20482\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1217\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.08.42.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.08.42.png 1217w, https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.08.42-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.08.42-1024x448.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.08.42-768x336.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1217px) 100vw, 1217px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Materials needed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.09.19.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20483\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1218\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.09.19.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.09.19.png 1218w, https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.09.19-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.09.19-1024x345.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/rea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/11\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2022-11-10-a-las-13.09.19-768x259.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1218px) 100vw, 1218px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Procedure<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use of tourniquet for vein identification.

work and for many biological analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MOST COMMONLY USED ANTICOAGULANTS IN HEMATOLOGY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do not alter the size of red blood cells.<\/li><li>Do not produce hemolysis.<\/li><li>Avoid platelet aggregation as much as possible.<\/li><li>Do not alter the morphology of leukocytes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four are the most frequently used anticoagulants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oxalate mixture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citrates EDTA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heparin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anticoagulants can be used in solid or liquid form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SODIUM OXALATE (Liquid)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frequently used as an anticoagulant in biochemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can be used for the determination of hemoglobin, erythrocyte and leukocyte count and hematocrit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not used in transfusions because it is toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood smears should be done immediately because after a few minutes, oxalate causes nuclear degeneration in leukocytes and plasmolysis in red blood cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TRISODIUM CITRATE (Liquid)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3.8% sodium citrate, precipitates calcium.<br>Used to obtain citrated plasma.<br>Used in blood coagulation and platelet function tests.<br>Preservation of the sample for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EDTA (sodium, potassium salt of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid)<br>Chelates blood Ca<sup>2+<\/sup>. Used for blood cell morphology studies.<br>Does not alter erythrocyte sedimentation rate.<br>Preserves samples for up to 24 hours or for 48 hours at 4\u00b0C.<br>The recommended concentration of EDTA is 1.5 mg\/mL of blood.<br>A higher quantity of anticoagulant can produce cellular retraction, with a decrease in hematocrit, and an increase in the mean hemoglobin concentration.<br>An excess of blood in relation to the anticoagulant leads to the formation of microaggregates that can alter the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heparin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natural anticoagulant<br>Interferes with the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.<br>Used for plasma collection in blood chemistry, hormone profiling and blood gas analysis.<br>Preserves samples for 8 to 10 hours.<br>Minimizes hemolysis but is not suitable for blood smears as it produces a diffuse blue coloration.<br>It is also not suitable for leukocyte or platelet counts as it produces cellular aggregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oa.ugto.mx\/oa\/bachillerato\/uda_fisica_2\/oa-rg-0007670\/#\/lessons\/XLWLBTkDHlDjqe83OZ5ueQWnqS7RSO_R\"><\/a>Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pre analytical phase comprises everything necessary prior to analyzing the blood sample.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It Is a very important phase because any error could Invalidate the whole laboratory process and the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blood sample collection Is one of the most Important part of this phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fuentes-de-informacion\">Information sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com\/Patient+Preparation+and+Specimen+Collection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Patient Preparation and Specimen Collection<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nursekey.com\/phlebotomy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phlebotomy<\/a> <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/pubns\/clinical-laboratories.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Safe working and the prevention of infection in clinical laboratories and similar facilities<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/labpedia.net\/blood-sample-types-anticoagulants-preservatives-adverse-effect-of-additives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blood sample Types, Anticoagulants, Preservatives, Adverse effects of Additives<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Hello, in this second class of the Hematology course, we are going to check some aspects of the Pre-analytical quality control.
