Hemoglobin estimation by the HemoCue® portable hemoglobin photometer in a resource poor setting
BACKGROUND In resource poor settings where automated hematology analyzers are not available, the Cyanmethemoglobin method is often used. This method though cheaper, takes more time. In blood donations, the semi-quantitative gravimetric copper sulfate method which is very easy and inexpensive may be used but does not provide an acceptable degree of accuracy. The HemoCue® hemoglobin photometer ha...
متن کاملValidation of hemoglobin estimation using Hemocue.
OBJECTIVE This piece of work is an attempt to compare Hemocue and Cyanmethemoglobin methods for hemoglobin estimation. METHODS In 100 apparently healthy children of 1-6 years of age, Hb was estimated using Hemocue and cyanmethemoglobin methods from finger prick blood sample. The results obtained by the two methods were compared using appropriate statistical methods. RESULTS Mean +/- SD valu...
متن کاملHemoglobin measured by Hemocue and a reference method in venous and capillary blood: a validation study.
OBJECTIVE To assess the comparability of hemoglobin concentration (Hb) in venous and capillary blood measured by Hemocue and an automated spectrophotometer (Celldyn) and to document the influence of type of blood (capillary or venous) and analysis method on anemia prevalence estimates. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between February and May 2000, capillary and venous samples were collected from 72 adul...
متن کاملComparison of the accuracy of noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring by spectrophotometry (SpHb) and HemoCue® with automated laboratory hemoglobin measurement.
BACKGROUND The reference method for hemoglobin concentration measurement remains automated analysis in the laboratory. Although point-of-care devices such as the HemoCue® 201+ (HemoCue, Ängelholm, Sweden) provide immediate hemoglobin values, a noninvasive, spectrophotometry-based technology (Radical-7®; Masimo Corp., Irvine, CA) that provides continuous online hemoglobin (SpHb) measurements has...
متن کاملEvaluation of a portable hemoglobin photometer in pregnant women in a high altitude area: a pilot study
BACKGROUND Anemia is a widespread public health problem associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality, especially in pregnant women. This study examined the agreement between a portable hemoglobin photometer and a laboratory analyzer in determining hemoglobin level in pregnant women. METHODS This study recruited 69 pregnant women in Tibet, China. Capillary blood samples were ta...
