what are the two drug analysis
- TDM: therapeutic drug monitoring. Ensures pateint is maintaining therapeutic blood levels of drugs such as gentamycin, dilantin, etc
- DAU: drugs of abuse. testing to detect blood alcohol, barbiturates
-
what is the difference between serum and plasma and what happens to the blood
- serum: blood where no anticoagulant has been added. Blood will clot. NO clotting factors
- plasma: blood where there is anticoagulant. blood will not clot. Has clotting factors
-
