Abstract
Introduction
Drawing blood samples through a central venous catheter is a customary practice in intensive care units. It is indicated to discard a volume of waste blood to avoid interference in the results.
Aim
To determine whether a lower discard volume for obtaining blood samples from temporary central venous catheters placed into the internal jugular, femoral or subclavian vein offers valid results.
Method
A quasi-experimental prospective cross-sectional study for which 65 patients of over 18 years of age in intensive care units, who had been fitted with a triple lumen central venous catheter, were recruited over a period of 8 months. Two consecutive blood samples were extracted with tubes for biochemistry, coagulation and haemogram from each patient from the distal lumen. The first sample was obtained with a discarded waste of 1.5 ml from a total extracted volume of 10.2 ml, similar to the usual waste in our ambit (10 ml). Subsequently the second sample was obtained. The paired t-test was used to analyse the data. The Bland-Altman plot and intraclass correlation coefficient were used to measure the agreement between methods. The reference change value was established as the admissible limit of variation between the pairs of samples.
Results
A total of 65 sample pairs were drawn (intervention-control). The paired t-test found statistically significant differences with a significance level of α = 0.05 for chlorine (−0.536; 0.012); prothrombin time (−0.092; 0.019) and prothrombin activity (0.284; 1.375). The intraclass correlation coefficient was greater than 0.9 in all the variables and the limit determined for the reference change value was not surpassed by any value.
Conclusions
The results show the reliability of the blood samples drawn with a discard volume of 1.5 ml.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
