Blood Sampling Through Peripheral Venous Catheters Is Reliable for Selected Basic Analytes in Children

Abstract

PVC sampling was shown to be a pain-reducing method that can be used for children for selected basic analytes. The findings for glucose were unreliable.

Checking Accuracy of Hematological and Biochemical Tests of Blood Samples Taken from Venous Catheter Infusion Fluids after Stop Infusion Fluids for a Minute

“…the researches of Zlotowski et al, as our study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the amount of potassium in blood samples taken from the peripheral vein catheter and vein puncture, but in contrast to our study, there were no significant differences between the amounts of sodium in the samples 8 . also Berger's study, Himberger's study 17,20 , Mohler's study (that was performed to examine the reliability of the blood samples were taken through peripheral intravenous infusion lines, saline lock and vein puncture from 55 patients for complete blood count and electrolytes in 1998) 21 , and Watson's study (that performed to compare the laboratory results of blood samples that were taken from the peripheral intravenous infusion line after was stopped the infusion fluids for 2 minutes with blood samples were taken from the opposite patient's arm in 1983) 13 , were contrast with our results in terms of sodium and potassium.…”

“…Berger's study (that was performed on 47 children in 2004 to examine the possibility of replacing the common method of blood sampling with taking blood samples from peripheral intravenous infusion catheter) and himberger's study (that was performed on 64 patients to determine accuracy of results biochemical tests and complete blood count in samples that were taken from peripheral intravenous infusion catheters and by vein puncture in1998) and the results of researches of Zlotowskie's study & et al (to compare several experimental parameters from the analysis of blood samples which were obtained from Vein puncture and Saline Lock after injection of 200 ml of normal saline bolus on 30 patients in Emergency Department) similarly showed that there were no significant differences in terms of WBC, RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet contents, which were obtained by peripheral catheters and vein puncture 8,17,20 . These findings were consistent with our results in terms of all values, except for hemoglobin and hematocrit contents.…”

Making sense of a haemolysis monitoring and reporting system: a nationwide longitudinal multimethod study of 68 Australian laboratory participant organisations

“…A considerable variation in haemolysis rates reported in the literature was identified. Seven studies reported a haemolysis rejection below 1% of all accessions [17][18][19][20][21][22][23], six between 1% and 3% [24][25][26][27][28][29], 20 between 3% and 20% [9,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] and another four above 20% [49][50][51][52]. Haemolysis detection methods, and free plasma haemoglobin levels used for this detection, are likely to be partly responsible for this variation, in addition to the differences in study designs and study populations.…”

A cross-sectional study to compare two blood collection methods: direct venous puncture and peripheral venous catheter

“…However, a study by Berger-Achituv et al 23 showed that DVP and PVC results were not equivalent for glucose, although that study was performed on children and only 2 mL of blood were discarded before collection. A study by Zlotowski et al 20 also did not show equivalency for glucose, potassium and bicarbonate (not analysed in our study).…”
