The Evaluation of Point of Care Testing for Determining Hemoglobin Levels in Geriatric Intensive Care Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Point-of-Care Systems

• Registration Number: NCT03509987
• Lead Sponsor: Kecioren Education and Training Hospital

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study was to compare hemoglobin (Hb) levels determined by point of care testing HemaCue and arterial blood gas analyzer with an automated hematology analyzer in critically ill geriatric patients.Forty geriatric patients requiring intensive care treatment were included in the study. Arterial blood sample was analyzed using HemaCue (HbHemaCueArterial), blood gas analyzer (Techno Medica, Gastat1800 series) (HbBGA) and an automated hematology analyzer (Cell Dyne 3700 System, Abbot Laboratories)(HbLab) as a reference method. Capillary blood measurements were performed (HbHemaCueCapillary) by HemaCue at bedside.
