Sample Handling

474
Transportation of samples from the collection point to the laboratory, as well as storage and preservation techniques, are crucial for maintaining sample integrity and ensuring accurate and reliable test results.
Samples should be transported carefully from collection points to the laboratory. They should be properly sealed and clearly labeled to prevent cross-contamination. To preserve the sample integrity, optimal temperature conditions during transport are essential. This could involve using...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Clinical Laboratory Science
  • Critical Care Transport

Background:

  • Critical care transport necessitates intensive care in resource-limited settings.
  • Patients require frequent assessments for specialized treatments like blood products, electrolyte replacement, and mechanical ventilation.
  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex therapy often managed during transport.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the utilization of point-of-care (POC) laboratory data during critical care transport.
  • To assess the impact of POC testing on clinical decision-making and interventions during patient transfers.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of electronic medical records was conducted over one year.
  • Data were collected from a hospital-based critical care rotor wing, fixed wing, and ground transport team.
  • The study analyzed the frequency and outcomes of POC laboratory tests performed during transports.

Main Results:

  • 120 POC tests were performed across 1,075 critical care transports (8.9% utilization).
  • POC testing guided interventions in 65% of cases, including ventilator adjustments (39.7%) and electrolyte replacement (35.8%).
  • 35% of POC tests confirmed no intervention was needed or that existing treatments were effective.

Conclusions:

  • Point-of-care laboratory testing is a valuable tool in critical care transport.
  • POC testing enables timely, data-driven interventions for critically ill patients.
  • This enhances the quality and efficiency of emergent care during patient transfers.
