OSCE Skill Lab Pemeriksaan GDS (Gula Darah Sewaktu)

Summary

This video tutorial demonstrates the process of conducting a blood glucose test using a glucometer and lancet device. The procedure involves assembling the necessary tools, including a glucometer, lancet device, alcohol swabs, and test strips. The presenter explains the step-by-step process of preparing the device, setting the lancet depth, obtaining a blood sample, and inserting it into the glucometer for a reading. Emphasis is placed on patient comfort and hygiene, as well as the proper disposal of used materials. The goal is to assess the blood glucose level to determine if it falls within a normal range.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video explains how to perform a blood glucose test (GDS) using specific devices.
• 😀 The necessary tools for the test include a glucometer, a lancing device, lancets, alcohol wipes, and protective gloves.
• 😀 The glucometer used in the demonstration is identified by its code and expiration date.
• 😀 Batteries should be checked first, ensuring they are installed properly in the glucometer.
• 😀 The lancing device needs to be prepared by placing a lancet inside and adjusting the depth setting based on the patient’s needs.
• 😀 A click sound from the lancing device indicates that it’s ready for use.
• 😀 The depth setting of the lancing device can be adjusted to suit the patient's condition, with typical settings ranging from 1 to 4.
• 😀 The glucometer test strip should be inserted into the device to prepare it for the blood sample.
• 😀 The examiner should wash their hands and wear gloves for proper hygiene during the test.
• 😀 Before pricking the patient's finger, an alcohol wipe should be used to disinfect the area.
• 😀 After the test, the used lancet should be safely disposed of, and the glucometer and lancing device should be cleaned accordingly.

Q & A

What is the main purpose of the blood glucose test described in the video?

The main purpose of the blood glucose test is to measure the current blood sugar level in the patient to determine whether it is normal or requires further attention.

What tools are required for the blood glucose test?

The tools required include a glucometer (e.g., Blukon), a lancet device, a test strip, a lancet, an alcohol swab, gloves, and a phone for protection.

How should the lancet device be prepared before use?

The lancet device should have a lancet inserted into it, and the depth of penetration must be adjusted to a suitable level (usually level 4 is used for most cases). The device should be tested by clicking it to ensure it is working properly.

What precaution should be taken regarding the glucometer before starting the test?

Before starting the test, make sure that the glucometer is within the expiration date and that the battery is functioning properly. Also, check that the test strips are in good condition.

How should the finger be prepared for the blood glucose test?

The patient's finger should be cleaned with an alcohol swab and allowed to dry. Gently massage the finger to improve blood circulation before pricking it with the lancet.

What should be done after pricking the patient's finger?

After pricking the finger, apply a small amount of blood to the test strip that is inserted into the glucometer, ensuring it makes proper contact for an accurate reading.

How is the blood glucose result obtained?

The glucometer will display the blood glucose level after a brief wait. The result will appear on the screen for the user to read and record.

What safety precautions should be taken during the procedure?

Always wear gloves to protect both the examiner and the patient. After the test, safely dispose of the lancet and test strip in a proper disposal container. Ensure that all tools are cleaned and disinfected where necessary.

How can the lancet device be adjusted for different patients?

The lancet device has adjustable depth settings (1-4), which can be customized according to the patient's skin type and sensitivity. Level 4 is generally recommended for most cases.

What should be done after completing the blood glucose test?

After completing the test, the used lancet and test strip should be disposed of properly. The glucometer and lancet device should be cleaned, and the examiner should wash their hands thoroughly.
