Bleeding time is a laboratory test to assess platelet function and the body’s ability to form a clot. The test involves making a puncture wound in a superficial area of the skin and monitoring the time needed for bleeding to stop (ie, bleeding site turns glassy). Bleeding normally stops within 1-9 minutes but may be longer in children (1-13 minutes) and tends to take slightly longer in females than in males. Special Note: The Bleeding Time is a historical footnote in the archives of laboratory medicine.
