TO FIND OUT RELEVANT CLINICAL FINDINGS OF IN BLEEDING DISORDERS THROUGH CLINICAL EXAMINATION & DETAIL HISTORY.

Abstract

Background & Method: Present study was done with an aim to find out relevant clinical findings of in bleeding disorders through clinical examination & detail history. A blood pressure cuff inflates around the upper arm of patient. While the cuff is on the arm, a prick is given on the fingertip. It is just deep enough to cause a tiny amount of bleeding. The blood pressure cuff is immediately deflated. Blotting paper is touched to the cuts every 30 seconds until the bleeding stops.

Result: Out of 200 study cases, males are more commonly affected (104%) than females (96%). Most Common bleeding manifestation found to be Gum Bleeding in 33% cases. Among the bleeding disorders platelet disorders (74%) are more common than coagulation disorders (15%).

Conclusion: Our endeavour here is to evaluate bleeding disorders on the available resources in the department and help the clinicians to have an idea of the hematological changes seen on light microscopy, for deciding the treatment of the diseases. Bleeding time is prolonged in 36% cases while clotting time in 29% of patients Prolonged prothrombin time is seen 9% study cases where as activated partial thromboplastin time is increased in 13%.
