The BT CT Test measures bleeding time and clotting time to assess the blood’s clotting ability.

No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

A healthcare provider makes a small incision on your skin to measure bleeding time and tests how long it takes for your blood to clot in a tube.

The BT CT Test helps diagnose bleeding disorders like haemophilia and clotting disorders such as thrombocytopenia.

The BT CT Test involves minimal risks, such as minor bleeding or bruising at the site of the incision.

Thyroid surgery typically takes about 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the extent of thyroid removal required.

Hospice care is a type of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients with terminal illnesses, focusing on quality of life rather than curative treatments.

Patients diagnosed with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of six months or less, as determined by a physician, are eligible for hospice care.

Hospice care services include pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, assistance with daily activities, and support for family members.

While both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and quality of life, hospice care is specifically for patients nearing the end of life, whereas palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness.

The hospice care team typically includes doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, and trained volunteers.
