2. 1. Improving venous blood specimen collection practices : method development and evaluation of an educational intervention program

   Author : Karin Bölenius; Christine Brulin; Kjell Grankvist; Johan Söderberg; Ewa Idvall; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Education; Experiences; Guideline adherence; Haemolysis; Intervention; Patient safety; Phlebotomy; Practical skills; Preanalytical errors; Primary healthcare; Questionnaires; Reliability and validity; Venous blood specimen collection; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

   Abstract : Background: About 60%–80% of decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment are based on laboratory test results. Low adherence to venous blood specimen collection (VBSC) guidelines may lead to erroneous or delayed test results, causing patient harm and high healthcare costs. READ MORE

4. 2. Preanalytical errors in hospitals : implications for quality improvement of blood sample collection

   Author : Olof Wallin; Christine Brulin; Kjell Grankvist; Johan Hultdin; Bethany van Guelpen; Ania Willman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medical errors; preanalytical; quality improvement; questionnaire; venous blood sampling; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi;

   Abstract : Background: Most errors in the venous blood testing process are preanalytical, i.e. they occur before the sample reaches the laboratory. Unlike the laboratory analysis, the preanalytical phase involves several error-prone manual tasks not easily avoided with technological solutions. READ MORE

5. 3. Pitfalls in Interpreting Umbilical Cord Blood Gases and Lactate at Birth

   Author : Parisa Mokarami; Urogynekologi och reproduktionsfarmakologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood gases; metabolic acidosis; umbilical cord; round-off; delayed sampling; validation;

   Abstract : Acid-base status in umbilical cord blood is an objective measure of the fetus’ exposure to and ability to handle hypoxia. The objective of this thesis was to clarify some of the methodological pitfalls in interpreting umbilical cord blood gases and lactate values at birth. READ MORE

6. 4. Acid-base values in umbilical cord blood at birth

   Author : Nana Wiberg; Urogynekologi och reproduktionsfarmakologi; []
   Keywords : Apgar score; Acidosis; Base deficit; Blood gases; Gestational age; Hidden acidosis; lactate; Umbilical cord blood;

   Abstract : Umbilical cord blood acid-base status at birth gives an objective evaluation of the fetal exposure and response to hypoxia during labor. The objective of this thesis was to elucidate methodological issues associated with interpretation of cord blood gases. READ MORE

7. 5. Pre-analytical errors in blood sampling procedures in paediatric hospital care

   Author : Henrik Hjelmgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: Blood tests are important for diagnosing and treating children who are hospitalised with illnesses. The blood test process follows the specific phases of pre-analysis, analysis and post-analysis. Most blood test errors occur in the pre-analytical phase. READ MORE
