Prothrombin Time(PT) -- time taken for clotting of citrated plasma after the addition of calcium and standardized
reference thromboplastin, and expressed as the ratio of the PT of the patient to the PT of a pool of plasma taken from
hralthy subjects on no medication.

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time(APTT): -- common laboratory technique used with heparin treatment.

International Normalised Ratio (INR)-- the internationally recommended form of reporting prothrombin time when
measuring warfarin.

Arterial Blood Gas Analysis (ABGS)


PH
7.34--7.45
 
PaCO2
35 to 45mm Hq
 
HCO3
22-26mEq/L
 
A quick method of analysis:
Look at the PH firse. Draw an arrow if it is alow or high.An arrpw indocating low means acidosis. An arrow indicating high
means alkalosis.
Next, loook at the resporatory indicator (PaCO2). Draw an arrowif it is low or high.
Interpretation:
If the arrows are in the opposite direction, the problem is respiratory in nature-either resp.acidosis or resp.alkalosis.
Next, look at the metabolic indicator (HCO3). Draw an arrow if it is low or high.
Interpretation:
If the pH arrow and the metabolic arrow are in the same direction, the problem is of metabolic in nature-either
metab.acidosis or metab alkalosis.
Additional analysis:
Compensation is present if the arrows of PaCO2 and HCO3 are opposite.Partial compensation is present if the arrows of
PaCO2 and HCO3 point in the same direction.
