Contamination of coagulation tests with heparin from blood gas samples.
We investigated the possibility that samples of blood could be contaminated by heparinized blood gas syringes, giving spurious results in coagulation tests. We collected coagulation test samples before (n=5) and after (n=13) blood gas sampling from a venous cannula in a volunteer. The results of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) tests were compared between control samples and samples...
متن کاملInterference of blood cell lysis on routine coagulation testing.
CONTEXT Preanalytical factors influencing the reliability of laboratory testing are commonplace. It is traditionally accepted that hemolytic samples are unsuitable for coagulation assays because of the release of hemoglobin, intracellular components, and thromboplastic substances from damaged blood cells. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of blood cell lysis on routine coagulation testing. ...

متن کاملCritical aspects in routine coagulation testing
The major improvements obtained in the quality of commercial reagents and in the accuracy of coagulometers has rendered comparabilty of the results among different laboratories a major task of the bodies devoted to standardization of coagulation testing. Commutability of results is of major importance especially in the monitoring of anticoagulant therapy. Critical aspects relate to the preanaly...
متن کاملTwo New Factors in Blood Coagulation-heparin and Pro-antithrombin
A survey of the results of recent work indicates that at least six different substances are concerned in one way or another in the process of blood coagulation; namely, fibrinogen, thrombin, prothrombin, calcium, antithrombin and the so-called zymoplastic or thromboplastic substances furnished bv the body cells in general, including the blood corpuscles. With regard to the last mentioned factor...
