Blood-gas vs. Central-Laboratory analyzers: interchangeability and reference intervals for sodium, potassium, glucose, lactate and hemoglobin

Background: Blood-Gas Analyzers (BGAs) are commonly used in parallel with central laboratory analyzers (CLAs). Given the often-divergent results between BGAs and CLAs this study aims to: 1. Determine whether the measurements of potassium (K), sodium (Na), glucose (Glu), lactate (Lact) and total hemo...

Given the often-divergent results between BGAs and CLAs this study aims to: 1.

Methods: During a one-year study period K, Na, Glu, Lact and ctHb measurements from 500 arterial blood samples, measured on ABL 90 FLEX BGAs were compared with corresponding venous samples measured on Roche c8000 and Sysmex XN-9000 analyzers.

Conclusion: The interchangeability criteria were met for Na, K and Gluc and Lact. The indirect RIs obtained with RLE, are comparable between two systems for Na, K, Gluc an ctHb.
