LAB TESTS

Advanced laboratory tests include:

• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Hemoglobin (Hb) or Hematocrit (HCT) if no CBC but separate testing for either Hb or HCT is available
• Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), and International Normalized Ratio (INR)
• Fibrinogen
• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
• Creatine Kinase (CK)

Simple coagulation test for austere environments: Use the Whole Blood Clotting Test (WBCT) as described in Appendix J to diagnose and monitor coagulopathy if advanced labs are not available.
