Course
7B00EG20

Objectives (course unit)

The student is able to
- describe the basics of haemostasis
- know the most common laboratory tests used to evaluate coagulation disorders
- collect, handle and preserve coagulation specimens
- perform the most common coagulation tests reliably
- ensure quality control of haematology tests
- explain the operating principles of automatic cell counters and automatic microscopy and evaluate information produced by those devices.
- critically assess the quality of automated cell calculation measurements

Content (course unit)

Laboratory diagnostics and disorders of haemostasis
Automated haematology analysers and quality control

Prerequisites (course unit)

Introduction to Haematology and Basic Tests 7B00EG18 must be completed before the course.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

The student is able to explain the basics of haemostasis and knows the most important laboratory tests for haemostasis diagnostics and treatment. The student is able to collect, handle and preserve coagulation samples and analyse the most important coagulation tests. The student knows the operating principles of automated cell counters and automated microscopy used in haematology and can interpret the data produced by the devices under supervision. The student is able to evaluate the quality of haematological tests.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

Practical training and working life cooperation

Kurssi tulee suorittaa hyväksytysti ennen kliinisen harjoittelun jaksoa hematologian laboratorioissa.
Opintojakso (3op) sisältää:
1 op teoriaopintoja (josta puolet itsenäistä tiedonhakua)
2 op harjoittelua TAMKin hematologian opetustiloissa (ohjattua opetusta sekä itsenäista opiskelua CellaVision -ohjelmistolla)

Further information

Harjoituksissa suojavaate pakollinen.
Kurssin opettaja Siru Suoniemi, solulaskennan automaatiosta luento Joonas Luoma.
Info-luennolla ja harjoitustunneilla on pakollinen läsnäolo.
