Blood gas - Preanalytics
Studies show that preanalytical errors are the reason for 62% of all errors in laboratory medicine [1]. "The diagnostic consequences depend on the magnitude of the preanalytical error. In worst case, these errors may lead to mistreatment of patients; in all cases, these errors are an extra workload for the hospital staff involved" [2].
This app focuses on the preanalytical phase of blood gas testing and what operators can do to avoid errors. The recommendations are based on existing literature and international best practices.
Examples are constructed, unless specific reference is given, with the purpose of illustrating the consequence of preanalytical errors.
