Laboratory Techniques in Hematology

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The curricular unit of  Hematology Laboratory techniques  is based on an integrated and functional view of the sciences and technologies applied to diagnosis. It aims to endow the students with skills that enable them, within a multidisciplinary team, to contribute to the best quality of care delivery. Its main objectives are to promote the acquisition of new knowledge and laboratory methodologies applied to Hematology and to address the integrated laboratory areas, in a multidisciplinary, cross-sectional and integrative perspective, as a contribution to the correct prognostic and predictive assessment of the disease, as well as the response to therapy.

• ObjectivosObjectives

  This curricular unit integrates knowledge covered in Anatomy of disciplines, Histology, Physiology, Biochemistry and Immunology and aims to provide in-depth knowledge of blood tissue, including blood-forming organs and hematopoiesis process as well as morphological, structural and functional aspects of different types of cells blood and its hematopoietic precursors. They will also be developed theoretical concepts and methodologies from the scope of hemostasis. Students must develop skills to obtain blood samples with quality, know the different techniques used in routine hematology laboratory and interpretation with critical spirit cytograms and histograms.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  In practical classes, the student has prior access to the experimental protocols to be carried out in each class session, which allows for prior reading and preparation. These protocols are accompanied by a set of questions, in order to ensure individual preparation and, subsequently, the discussion of procedures and results.
