Description: Hematology is an integral part of patient assessment and the minimum database for wellness visits, sick visits and ongoing disease monitoring. We will have a high-level review about what is included in a full hematology assessment, including analyzer data, analyzer graphics and blood morphology. We will integrate our knowledge of a full hematology assessment into patient diagnosis and management. Identifying blood morphologic abnormalities are key for specialists to obtain a diagnosis and provide high level patient care, especially in the specialty care setting. The goal of this program is to provide a specialist level review of hematologic abnormalities and blood morphology changes that are important to identify. This lecture will also provide an update of IDEXX’s inVue cellular analyzer and it’s role in evaluating blood morphology.
