title: Micromethod for bleeding time in the newborn.
abstract: A new method of measuring bleeding time using an Autolet device is described. Normal ranges of bleeding time and volume of blood used in the test have been defined in a population including preterm babies. Abnormal values have been shown in newborns with a variety of problems, and an abnormality of bleeding time has been found to precede intraventricular haemorrhage.
