MSU serves the interior and remote rural areas of state which lack basic medical facilities.In these areas the laboratory of MSU helps to diagnose and thereby treat the patients suffering from various diseases.
Functioning:
As soon as the OPD patients are admitted or are planned to be admitted
the laboratory starts functioning.
All indoor patients are investigated as a routine before surgery.
It is equipped with all kits and reagents for biochemical tests.
It has microscope, glucometer,autoanalyzer and colorimeter.
TESTS PERFORMED:
At CAMP site:
Haemoglobin,TLC,DLC,ESR,BT,CT
Blood sugar-Fasting,PP,random.
Blood urea,Serum creatinine,SGOT,SGPT,Serum bilirubin
Serum cholesterol.
Urine-albumin,sugar,complete/microscopic,bile salts,bile pigments
Stool examination for ova and cyst.
Semen analysis.
At CITY HOSPITAL :
Haemoglobin,TLC,DLC,ESR,BT,CT.
Blood sugar-fasting,PP,random.
Urine-albumin,sugar,complete/microscopic
Stool examination for ova and cyst.
Semen analysis.
SPUTUM FOR AFB IS NOT PERFORMED IN UNIT'S LAB.This test is carried out by TB clinic as they further carry out the treatment and followup of such cases.
BLOOD TRANSFUSION:
We do not have facility for blood bank hence we get blood from
nearby district hospital or Medical college.
Blood is donated by relatives of patients or volunteers.
It is cross matched at camp site and at district hospital or medical
college.
It is transported with full precautions so that it does not haemolyse.
At campsite blood is transfused either in ward or in operation theatre.
STATISTICS:
Number of cases investigated per major camp are-approx.3000
Number of cases investigated per minor camp are-approx.250
Number of cases investigated per mini camp are-approx.350
FUTURE PLANS:
Frozen section for biopsy of specimens for early detection and
staging of diseases.
Unit's own blood bank. |
