what the risks are serum fibrinogen, plasma fibrinogen, factor i, hypofibrinogenemia test, test that measures the amount, fibrinogen, in the blood, blood is drawn, a vein, on the inside, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, restrict blood flow, the vein, veins below the band to fill, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an air-tight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, an infant, young child, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, cotton, a bandage applied, puncture site, any continued bleeding, , no special preparation needed, infants, children, test depends on child's age, level of trust, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain, others feel only a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, this test performed, abnormal blood clotting is present, excessive bleeding, fibrinogen, protein produced by the liver, fibrinogen helps stop bleeding by helping blood clots to form, normal blood clotting, fibrinogen is broken down, enzyme, thrombin into short fragments of fibrin, thrombin also activates a substance, factor xiii, factor xiii helps weave the fibrin fragments into a complex lattice, closing off injured blood-vessel walls, blood platelets attach, fibrin fragments, clumping together to form blood clots, stop bleeding, normal range is 200-400 mg/dl, mg/dl = milligrams per deciliter, lack of fibrinogen production, acquired, from birth, excessive fibrinogen use, in disseminated intravascular coagulation, fibrinolysis, abnormal breakdown of fibrinogen, hemorrhage, transfusion of blood products deficient in fibrinogen, additional conditions under which the test performed, disseminated intravascular coagulation, dic, hemophilia a, hemophilia b, placenta abruptio, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
