what the risks are this test measures the amount, protein s, in the blood, deficiencies, lead, formation of blood clots in arteries, veins, 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 swell, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an airtight 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, special preparation, not necessary, infants, children, test depends on child's age, previous experience, 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, protein c, protein s, involved in regulation of blood clotting, deficiencies, lead, formation of blood clots in arteries, veins, this test, investigate repeated fetal loss, normal values, 60-150% inhibition, deficient protein s, result in, excessive clotting tendencies, vein clots, deep vein thrombosis, dvt, occasionally this disorder, associated, arterial clots, a protein s deficiency inherited, acquired, due to pregnancy, certain diseases, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hiv infection, 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, protein c, protein s, decreased by some anticoagulants, coumadin, warfarin, measurements of protein c, s difficult to interpret in patients taking anticoagulants, a clot-related event, a pulmonary embolism, proteins c, s, reduced anyway, measurements misleading, episode is resolved, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
