Introducción de metodología docente multimedia en las prácticas de hematología: recuento de células sanguíneas mediante el uso de la cámara Neubauer

Abstract

Blood cell count is a technique widely used both in clinical and in research, and is essential in the area of health in order to identify the presence of hematological alterations. With the aim of incorporating teaching innovation and improvement methods in the Hematology practices of the Physiology subject, in the Medicine Degree and in different degrees of Health Sciences area, we opted for the use of multimedia material based on the projection of a video that include the following aspects: 1) Introduction of the basis of the blood cell count. 2) Structure and use of the Neubauer camera. 3) Manipulation and preparation of blood samples. 4) Management of the microscope. 5) Count and calculation of the concentration of erythrocytes and leukocytes in the sample. 6) Interpretation of values. The expected results with the introduction of this methodology are: 1) Strengthen the understanding of Physiology concepts related to practice. 2) Optimize class time improving the development of the session. 3) Maintain and improve the attention, motivation, reflection and actions of the students in the laboratory.
