Phlebotomy Lab Activity
The Doctor ordered STAT plasma BMP, which color topped tube could you used to collect the blood sample?
The Dr. is looking for information about your current status of your metabolism. The BMP will provide your blood sugar (glucose) level, the balance of electrolytes fluids, and how healthy your kidneys are. The color topped tube used would be the Green tube. (Mundt & Booth, 2019), (www.Spectrumhealth.testcatalog.org.)
You will need to transport the blood sample immediately, to which Lab Specialty? The Chemistry Lab, would be performing the test needed. (www.Spectrumhealth.testcatalog.org)
List the analytes included in the Basic metabolic profile (BMP) and the normal (value) range of each:
(www.healthline.com)
BUN 6-20mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter of blood)
Creatinine 09-1.3 (men)
Glucose 70-99mg/dl
Albumin 3.4-5.4g/dl (grams per deciliter of blood)
CO2 (Carbon dioxide) 23-29 mE/L (milliequivalent units per liter if blood)
Ca+ (calcium) 8.6-10.2 Mg/dl
Na+ (sodium) 136-145 mEq/L
K+ (potassium) 3.5-5.1 mEq/L
CL (Chloride) 98-107 mEq/LThe nurse asked you to collect a blood sample for a CBC with differential Test; Which Color top tube could you use?
The CBC test with differential can evaluate your overall health and detect a variety of disease and conditions, such as infections, anemia and Lukemia. The Lavender tube will be used to collect blood samples.
Which Lab. Specialty will perform this Test? The lab used for testing would be the Hematology section of the Chemistry lab. (Booth & Mundt)
What are the Normal Ranges of the analytes included in the CBC Test? (www.Webmd.com)
White Blood Count 4500-1100 cells per microliter (cells/mcl)
Red blood Cells 4.5 million to 5.9 million cells(men
4.1 Million to 5.1 million cells(women)
Hemoglobin 14 to 17.5 grams per deciliter (gm/dL) for men
12.3 to 15.3 gm/dL for women
Hematocrit 41.5% to 50.4% for men 35.9% to 44.6% for women.
Mean Corpuscular volume 80 to 96
Platelets 150,000 to 450,000 platelets/mcL
What is a Differential Test? A differential test measures the amount of each type of white blood cells (WBC) that you have in your body. It’s used to diagnose a variety of medical conditions may include. Infections, autoimmune disease, anemia, inflammatory disease and leukemia and other cancers.(WWW.medlineplus.com)
Define cardiac markers, also known as cardiac enzymes, list the Lab. Assays with their Normal range and the color top tube used to collect the blood specimen
The cardiac enzymes are released into circulation when myocardial necrosis occurs, as seen in myocardia infractions. They are used to diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome. They include myoglobin, troponin (Troponin T) and Creatine Kinase(CK) The color of tube used for testing would be Green top (lithium heparin) The Chemistry lab would be used to test.
(www.mda.org)
Troponin levels are often less than 0.12 ng/ml.
Troponin T levels are often less than 0.01 ng/ml.
Myoglobin normal range is 25 to 72 ng/ml
CK normal range is 22-198 U/LDefine Lipid panel, include the normal range of these analytes and the color top tube used to collect the blood sample:
Lipd panel is a blood test that mesures lipids, fats and fatty substance used as a source of energy by your body. Lipids include cholesterol, Triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Lipids are found in your blood they are important part of the cell to keep your body working normally. (www.uofmhealth.com)
Tube used to perform this test is the Red/gray, it would go to the Chemistry lab and Immunology department.
Cholesterol levels less than 200 milligrams per deciliter /(mg/Dl) (Adults over 20 men and women)
Triglycerides level below 150 mg/Dl
HDL-40 mg/Dl or higher (men) 50mg/dl or higher (women)
LDL-less than 100mg/dl (men) less than 100mg/dl (women)
