The PTT Test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, assessing the functionality of various clotting factors.

The PTT Test is necessary to diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate overall clotting function.

No special preparation, such as fasting, is required for the PTT Test. However, inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.

A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm and analyzed in a laboratory to measure the clotting time.

PTT Test results are usually available within a few hours to 24 hours, depending on the laboratory’s workload.

The ABG Test measures oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases in the blood to evaluate lung function and acid-base balance.

A blood sample is collected from an artery, typically in the wrist or arm, using a needle.

No special preparation is required, but avoid smoking or strenuous exercise before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.

Results are usually available within a few hours of the test, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider for appropriate interpretation and to determine the next steps for treatment or further testing.

Risks may include infection, blood clots, implant failure, and complications related to anesthesia. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you.
