Part 2 POCT

ABG analysis has a prospective influence on patient care than any other laboratory determinants

Tissue oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base status are the most important factors in the management of critically ill patients

3 important parameters in blood gas analyzers

Sample is arterial blood placed on ice and held at 0°C until analysis

most important factor in blood gas analyzers

p in blood gas analyzers mean

Why does the transportation in blood gas analyzers should be in ice?

True or false:
Ib blood gas analysis, if the person is critical, some of the kidneys and lungs are also in critical condition. This organs usually regulate the acid base status, pH levels and help in the ventilation.

Literal meaning of pH

blood is less than 7:35

If blood ph is more than 7.35

factors in blood gas analyzers that is how is air is being exchanged between the blood and lungs

factors in blood gas analyzers that has the ability of lungs to diffuse oxygen of the alveoli

true or false:
blood gas analyzers in consudered as a STAT

True or false:
when we collect blood sample in blood gas analyzers, it should be arterial puncture

In arterial puncture, no need to use tourniqute becuase of the pressure of the blood in arteries

-the needle should be moved because it is a sharp hazard
-no needle attach in the barrel

Measures the electrolytes and need patient request form

-lot of tests can be done
-it can be connected to the LIS of the hospitals then transmit results in Electronic Medical Record (EMR)

Sections that can perform in iStat

Different electrolytes

Transmitting nerve impulses

Increase in sodium

Decrease in sodium

increase in calcium

what color tube is bind to calcium?

slow breathing

in hypoventilation, if ther is an increase in CO2, there is also an increase in hydrogen ions and decrease in pH

it decreases CO2, decrease hydrogen ions and increase in pH

electrolytes that helps in nerve conduction and muscle
function; regulates acid-base balance and osmotic
pressure

electrolytes that maintains the integrity of the cells by helping in
balancing osmotic pressure and acid-base and water
balance of the body

helps transport CO2 from the lungs
resulting in the reduction of hydrogen ions and increase in
blood pH

helps in muscular function cardiac
function, blood clotting, nerve transmission function of the body

Function of EDTA

For monitoring patient’s oxygen saturation

Decrease in CO2, decrease hydrogen ions and increase in pH

Most common used sites for application are the fingernail and toenail beds

Principle is based on the red and infrared light absorption characteristics of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin

no puncture or incision to the patient to collect sanple

The meter measures the yellowness of the subcutaneous tissue by measuring the difference in the optical density of two wavelengths through the skin

Measurements are taken wither on the baby’s forehead or sternum

measures the concentration of bilubrin in the body

sample in bilubrin should expose to light

bilubrin sample can be collected to what color of tube?

if the hospital cant afford the ambered brown top tube in determination of bilubrin, carbon paper or foil can be used instead

A device that extracts glucose through intact skin via reverse iontophoresis where it is detected by an amperometric biosensor

Can provide glucose readings every 20 mins for 12 hours

A pulse co-oximeter that uses multi-wavelength sensor for spot check and continuous measurement

The technology emits multiple wavelengths of light and then calculates the hemoglobin concentration based on the adsorption of light in the blood

Gauge the effectiveness of the thrombolytic therapy being administered to patients who have suffered from heart attacks

medications that dissolve clots forming in the body

Measures the alanine transferase (ALT) of patients
under lipid-lowering medication

Differentiates chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and congestive heart failure (CHF)

Detects and evaluates infection, tissue injury, and
other inflammation disorders

Diagnostic tool for diabetes therapy
monitoring

Measures the volume of the red blood cells

other name for hematocrit

True or false:
In hematocrit, it also measure serum or plasma

Checks the hemoglobin level to manage patients suffering from anemia

Evaluates the severity of lactic acid disorder and stress response of the
patient

Checks contact with allergens and determines if the body has developed
antibodies

Detects the presence of group A streptococci

Causative agent of sore throat
