Chapter 5 Patient Analyzing

NOTE:

Take safety measures when working with biological samples, such as wearing

approved gloves, etc.

5.1 Sample Collection and Preparation

5.1.1 Sample Collection

Blood samples should be collected according to proper medical guidelines containing collection

details, such as site selection, collection procedures, sampling devices, sample handling, etc.

Sterile techniques should be followed to prevent the site from being contaminated.

Handle blood samples and collection devices with care, and wear approved protective

gloves to avoid direct contact with samples.

WARNING

NOTE:

 Only fresh whole blood samples are recommended for use.

 When taken for electrolyte analysis, venous samples should not be collected from a

central venous catheter containing silver sulfadiazine or chlorhexidine, because they

have a great influence on sodium levels.

 Samples should be collected by trained professionals.

 For mixed venous samples, the system reports only pO

result.

5.1.2 Anticoagulants

Only those sample devices containing the proper amount of calcium-titrated (balanced) heparin or

lithium heparin as the anticoagulant should be used to collect whole blood samples. If

calcium-titrated (balanced) heparin is used as an anticoagulant, the minimum heparin-to-blood

ratio should be 2.3 units of heparin per 1.0mL of blood sample. If a sample is analyzed for

ionized calcium, the maximum heparin-to-blood ratio should be 15 units of heparin per 1.0mL of

blood sample; if not, the maximum heparin-to-blood ratio should be 50 units of heparin per

1.0mL of blood sample.

If there are clots in the blood sample, discard it and collect samples again.

CAUTION
