HEMATOLOGY / ONCOLOGY
YEAR 2 | PAGE 25A - CBC, ANEMIA + HEMOSTASIS CONCEPT MASTERY
READ THE BLOOD AS A SYSTEM
Start with CELL LINE -> COUNT/INDEX -> RETIC RESPONSE -> SMEAR -> HEMOLYSIS/IRON/COAGULATION LABS -> MARROW OR PERIPHERAL PROCESS. For bleeding, separate PLATELET failure from COAGULATION-factor failure before naming the disorder.

A. DEEP HEMATOLOGY VIDEOS - DIRECT & PLAYABLE — HEMATOLOGY CLOSED-BOOK CHECK
- Classify anemia by MCV + reticulocyte response, then use iron studies/hemolysis labs/smear to narrow the mechanism. - Predict PT, aPTT, platelet count, fibrinogen and D-dimer patterns in vWD, hemophilia, DIC, liver disease and vitamin K deficiency. - Distinguish platelet-type mucocutaneous bleeding from coagulation-factor deep-tissue/joint bleeding before reading the answer choices. - From a CBC with cytopenias or abnormal cells, decide whether the problem is production, destruction/consumption, sequestration or marrow replacement.
