PERBANDINGAN KADAR TROMBOSIT PADA PEMBENDUNGAN VENA SELAMA 1 MENIT DAN 2 MENIT

Phlebotomy is the process of drawing blood from the circulatory system through a puncture to obtain a sample. Venous blood collection is done using a tourniquet as a damming device that serves to see the vein under the skin tissue. In adults, one of the veins used is the cubital fossa and in infants using the superficial jugular vein or in the superior sagittal sinus. Platelets are disk-shaped cells with a diameter of 2-5 mm. Under normal circumstances, the number of platelets is about 150,000-450,000 / ml of blood and its life span is about 1- 2 weeks or about 8 days. Platelets are made of phospholipid substances that are important for clotting, maintaining the integrity of blood vessels and repairing damaged small blood vessels. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of platelet levels in vein damming at 1 minute and 2 minutes. This study was conducted in the MM2100 industrial area, samples obtained from employees who did Medical Check Up and obtained as many as 30 respondents and 60 samples. The results showed that employees in the MM2100 industrial area with average platelet levels of 274,133/µl of blood at 1 minute and average platelet levels of 278,266/µl of blood at 2 minutes. This study uses the Paired Sample T-Test method, the results obtained with a sig value of 0.229 which means there is no difference in the damming time of 1 minute and 2 minutes on platelet levels.

PERBANDINGAN HASIL MIKROSKOPIS LANJUTAN PENDERITA TBC PARU SETELAH PENGOBATAN DENGAN RIWAYAT DM DAN TANPA DM DI PUSKESMAS KEDUNDUNG

Comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM) in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients may increase the risk of death even with or during TB treatment. Immunocompromised conditions due to DM increase the risk of infection and sputum conversion failure. The risk of recurrence in comorbid patient is also higher after treatment. Objective of this research is to describe the comparison of further microscopic examination of pulmonary tuberculosis patients without DM and pulmonary tuberculosis patients with a history of diabetes at the Kedundung Public Health Center. The study was conducted by observing each of 15 TB positive sputum samples accompanied by a history of DM and those without any history of DM 2 months post-treatment on further microscopic examination. Further microscopic examination showed that 100% of sputum samples of TB patients without a history of DM and receiving treatment gave negative results, while sputum samples of TB patients with DM history and receiving treatment, while sputum samples of patients who had received treatment showed results of 2+ by 80% and 3+ by 20% and there were no negative results for TB. These results prove that there is an effect of a history of DM disease on TB treatment outcomes. Keywords : Further microscopic examination, Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), Diabetes Mellitus (DM)

PENGARUH VARIASI WAKTU SENTRIFUGASI NILAI HEMATOKRIT MENGGUNAKAN METODE MIKROHEMATOKRIT DI UNIVERSITAS BINAWAN

Hematocrit is the total volume of red blood cells in 100 ml of blood expressed as a percentage of blood volume. Hematocrit examination is needed to help diagnose diseases such as anemia and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) to determine the total volume of red blood cells or erythrocytes. The normal value for hematocrit examination is 40-54% for males and 37-47% for females. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in centrifugation time on hematocrit values using the microhematocrit method. This type of research is quantitative using experimental method with cross sectional design. The method used for hematocrit examination is the microhematocrit method with variations in centrifugation time of 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, and 5 minutes as a control with a speed of 12,000 rpm. The respondents of this study were 35 respondents and the samples of this study were 35 venous blood samples taken from Binawan University students, Medical Laboratory Technology Study Program batch 2021 and 2022. The average result of the 2-minute centrifugation hematocrit value examination is 37.87%, 3-minute centrifugation is 37.57%, 4-minute centrifugation is 37.30%, and 5-minute centrifugation is 37.25%. The Wilcoxon test results show the Sig. (2-tailed) of 2-minute centrifugation compared with 5 minutes is 0.00 (<0.05), 3-minute centrifugation compared with 5 minutes is 0.001 (<0.05), 4-minute centrifugation compared with 5 minutes is 0.560 (>0.05). The results of this study showed that hematocrit values with centrifugation times of 2 minutes and 3 minutes compared to 5 minutes had significant differences in hematocrit values.
