Complete Blood Count (CBC): Automated versus Manual Differential

Automated Versus Manual Platelet Count in Aden

This is a cross sectional study conducted in the National Center of Public Health Laboratories (NCPHL) of Aden – Yemen, during October-December 2011, with an overall aim to compare the results of platelet count by the automated versus the manual methods. Study included 190 random samples, examined with confirmatory platelet estimate done by the stained thin blood film. The mean platelets count ...

Differential leukocyte count: manual or automated, what should it be?

Today's automated hematology analyzers capable of performing a full CBC and a differential leukocyte count (DLC) on whole blood, particularly in a closed tube system, using cytochemistry or impedance-based flow cytometry technology coupled with laser light scattering, conductivity and/or differential cell lysis, are here to stay. Their need and popularity among at least the large, cost and qual...

[Current status and proposal of a guideline for manual slide review of automated complete blood cell count and white blood cell differential].

BACKGROUND Manual slide review (MSR) is usually triggered by the results of automated hematology analyzers, but each laboratory has different criteria for MSR. This study was carried out to investigate the current status of MSR criteria of automated complete blood cell count (CBC) and white blood cell (WBC) differential results and to propose a basic guideline for MSR. METHODS Total 111 labor...

Automated versus manual blood pressure measurement: a randomized crossover trial.

This study evaluated the accuracy and reliability of the Dinamap 8100 automated blood pressure machine against three internationally recognized criteria. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were taken concurrently by two nurses using the automated machine and a manual sphygmomanometer. Results demonstrated agreement between automated and manual readings on one set of criteria for both systol...
