Study of Phlebotomy Techniques in Laboratory | Hematology

In the below contents we will study about phlebotomy techniques both by syringe methods and capillary method. Phlebotomy Technique by Syringe Methods: Needle: Sterilized sharp needles of bore size 18-20 gauge (medium, 12-0.9 mm) for adults and 23 gauge (0.5 mm) for children are needed. The bevel length should be medium (20 mm) for adults and short (15 mm) for [...]

Top 4 Indices of Red Blood Cells (RBC) | Types | Blood Cells | Biology

The following points highlight the top four indices of red blood cells. The indices are: 1. Mean Cell Volume 2. Increased MCV 3. Decreased MCV 4. Mean Cell Hemoglobin. 1. Mean Cell Volume (MCV): The mean cell volume indicates the volume of the "average" red cell in a sample. It is expressed in femtoliters (fl; 10-15 liters). Traditionally, MCV was [...]
