Question 1

waht is the effect of bleeding time during fever?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding time: Bleeding time should not be affected by fever.  If you are taking aspirin products to treat a fever, :that may prolong it.

Question 2

when the patient is having the fever is there any change in the bleeding time if so give one reason?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding Time: Bleeding time is dependent on platelets. If the platelet numbers drop, then bleeding time will increase.

Question 3

reasons of prolong bleeding time?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: There are many causes for an increased bleeding time.  This is a difficult test to do accurately and is not reliable, so is not used routinely in the U.S. A common cause of an elevation is Aspirin or aspirin-containing products.  Other drugs can do it as well.  Underlying blood disorders, such as vw disease cause it as can vascular or platelet abnormalities.  Investigate this further.

Question 4

blood coagulation status require bleeding time?

Accepted Answer

Risk of bleeding: Bleeding time is no longer used as it is a poor predictor of bleeding risk, clotting time is too crude a test, prothrombin time tests the status of one branch of the coagulation pathway.  Usually pt and PTT and platelet count are used as screening tests to assess risk of abnormal bleeding.

Question 5

why bleeding time is shorter than clotting time?

Accepted Answer

Platelets: The old clotting time tests only the coagulation factors, which tend to act more slowly. The bleeding time tests platelets, your circulating band-aids, which are there for small nicks. Reference ranges differ but results in individual patients depend on what's going on.

Question 6

why bleeding time is smaller than clotting time ?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding & Clotting : The tests measure different aspects of your blood homeostatic system. The bleeding time measures the ability to form a platelet plug, which is usually fast. No clot has formed yet. The clotting times measure different "arms" of your clotting cascade - times to actually form a clot, and that takes longer than the primary platelet plug i referred to previously.

Question 7

what bleeding time in patient with hemophilia is normal?

Accepted Answer

May be prolonged: The normal bleeding time is 2-6 minutes . In hemophilia this may be prolonged ,  depends on severity of the condition. Bleeding time test which is somewhat  cumbersome is no longer commonly used to diagnose or follow patients with hemophilia.  Other blood tests  that are  helpful  are PTT (partial thromboplastin time) , factor viii levels, and dna testing

Question 8

if patient has less blood , what is effect in bleeding time?

Accepted Answer

Probably none: Bleeding time is a measure of how long it takes to form a clot to stop the bleeding from a precise test incision.  The blood volume is not a factor.  The platelet function and clotting cascade are the operative factors.

Question 9

if the patient has less blood , what is the effect on the value of bleeding time ?

Accepted Answer

Clot: Low blood count is nort a factor for determining bleeding time. It is determined by specific clotting ability in the blood like platelets.

Question 10

what is the definition or description of: bleeding time?

Accepted Answer

See below: Bleeding time is a medical test done on someone to assess their platelet function

a blood pressure cuff is inflated around your upper arm. While the cuff is on your arm, the health care provider makes two small cuts on the lower arm. They are just deep enough to cause a tiny amount of bleeding. The health care provider records the time it takes for the cuts to stop bleeding.
