Laboratory supervision of point-of-care blood gas
Providing continuous technical support and reliable test data collection for point-of-care blood gas testing is a difficult task for many laboratories. Here we describe how the implementation of an integrated instrument control and data management system for point-of-care blood gas testing has streamlined these...

Management of point-of-care testing
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a delivery option for performing laboratory testing closer to the patient. Due to increasing healthcare pressures for faster turnaround of laboratory results and the development of a broader menu of testing devices, POCT is growing in popularity. Devices today are more portable,...

Point-of-care testing for blood gases and electrolytes
The pro-con debate on the advisability of introducing POCT deals with the likely clinical benefits but – to an even higher degree – with the economic aspects. We discuss various models for determining the costs, and some caveats.

Application of hemoglobin derivatives in STAT analysis
Our ability to assess the oxygenation status in critical care with a high degree of accuracy has improved as a result of recent developments in optical technology.
The determination of the oxygenation status, however, remains a complex issue due to its multifaceted nature. This review discusses the definitions,...
