2. Blood marrow test procedure

In-situ antiseptic tools Hemostatic materials Root canal needles Syringe 5-10ml 02 test tubes with EDTA anticoagulant Kit marrow smear, Giemsa and reticulocyte staining. Cell counters or alternative devices. Local anesthetic (Lidocaine 2% or Xylocaine 2%). Optical microscope.

3. Procedure for performing a blood marrow blood test

The doctor explains to the patient the procedure and purpose of the blood marrow blood test. The nurse performed the anesthetic test first. The doctor instructs the patient to lie prone on a hard bed, using an antiseptic solution (70 degrees alcohol or 5%) to disinfect the patient's posterior superior iliac spine. Inject 02 tubes of Novocaine (or Lidocaine 2%) in the iliac spine at the site of the aspiration procedure.

The technician injects spinal fluid onto the slide, pulls 4 slides and performs Giemsa staining. Allow to dry, apply oil and slide on 10X, 40X, 100X objective lenses.

4. Result analysis method

It is necessary to carefully observe the morphological characteristics on the stained blood smear, compare with the measured parameters with the actual one. If there is an abnormality, it is necessary to immediately determine whether it is due to a disease or a technical error.
Compare the results obtained with the reference value of healthy people.
Data to be analyzed
Red blood cells: increased or decreased number, shape, size, color, percentage of immature red blood cells, reticulocytes distributed on the specimen (to assess the hematopoietic ability of marrow bone, determine the cause of anemia ) Platelets: number and concentration of platelets, platelet size. Leukocytes: measure the percentage of immature leukocytes, nuclear structure, protoplasm and specific granules with no abnormalities. Myelocytes: measure the number, morphology of marrow cells and abnormalities (if any). Note:
Technicians should note that all necessary parameters must be recorded. Specify the necessary characteristics on a case-by-case basis, paying special attention to values ​​outside the normal range. Only make affirmative conclusions when there are certain factors because in most cases, it only allows to suggest the direction of diagnosis.
