In this webinar we discuss the approach to the patient with a bleeding disorder. A logical diagnostic approach to a coagulopathy is essential to reach a diagnosis promptly and to ensure the correct treatment can be initiated quickly, as affected patients can present in a critical condition. Primary haemostasis involves the formation of a blood clot by the action of platelets and secondary haemostasis results in the formation of a fibrin clot through the activation of clotting factors. Primary haemostatic disorders are associated with reduced platelet numbers (thrombocytopenia) or a functional platelet defect (thrombocytopathia) and usually present with petechial haemorrhages or mucosal haemorrhages. Secondary haemostatic disorders can be congenital or acquired and are more likely to present with intra-cavitary haemorrhages. This webinar is provided by BSAVA Education Partner IDEXX.

Even with the most sophisticated haematology analysers, there are instances where evaluating the blood smear provides us with helpful and actionable clinical information that will have an impact on patient care and would otherwise not be detected. Following from the previous webinars: “Breaking down the haematology…”, in this session we will review a very basic approach to examination of the blood smear. We will address the examination of the blood smear in a systematic way and cover the most common changes that can be detected, or have an impact in que quality of the haematology analyser results.

In this second part of the webinar about automated haematology results, we will focus on white blood cells. We will start by briefly reviewing the different methodologies of analysis, then we will discuss the relevance of the white blood cell parameters and some common pattern of changes. We will review through examples the importance of the information that dot plots can provide, and how to integrate them in interpretation of results, with some guidelines for blood smear review.
