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)

Luennot, pienryhmätyöskentely, itsenäinen ja ryhmätyöskentely.
Learning materials
Veritaudit (Porkka ym. 2015 tai vastaava, osa I luku 2, osa II luku 8, osa VI)
Laboratoriolääketiede: kliininen kemia ja hematologia. (Niemelä, Pulkki & Vilpo 2010, luvut 24 ja 25)
Luentomateriaalit ja muut opettajan osoittamat materiaalit.
Student workload
Luento-opetusta 6 h, laboraatiot pienryhmissä 22 h. Itsenäistä opiskelua. Kurssin aikana tehdään lyhyt kirjallinen työ erikseen sovittavista aiheista, jotka puretaan pienryhmän kesken Moodlessa. Moodletyöskentelyyn osallistuminen ajallaan on kurssin hyväksytyn suorittamisen ehto.
Further information
The course includes training in the University of Applied Sciences’ teaching laboratory.
