Objective

Students
-explain the link between the blood coagulation system and key coagulation tests
- describe different methods of measuring parameters included in blood count tests and explain the clinical significance of blood count analysis - justify the significance of pre-analytical factors to coagulation and blood count tests
- carry out coagulation and blood count tests using analysers in compliance with quality control recommendations and service the equipment that they use
- assess the results that they have obtained in relation to reference values and the patient’s status and report the results to the care unit
- explain the significance of transfusion medicine as part of the overall treatment of patients and justify the significance of pre-analytical factors to tests relating to transfusion medicine
- know how to perform the most common immunohaematological tests and justify their significance to treatment of patients
- describe the operations of a blood centre and apply quality control in their actions

Content

The coagulation system and its key tests; the concept of blood count and analysing the quantity and quality of blood cells using different methods; assessment and clinical significance of test results and the testing process; pathological changes in blood cells and in the coagulation system; operational maintenance of haematology equipment.
Basic concepts of immunohaematology; blood centre operations as a whole; ABO and Rh blood group systems and other clinically significant systems; the most common blood group antibodies and their clinical significance; blood centre quality systems; blood products; safety and adverse effects of transfusions; taking samples for blood grouping and cross-matching and performing the most common transfusion tests using tube and column agglutination techniques.
