Title: Use of calcium-titrated sodium heparinate for ionized calcium determination on plasma and whole blood (heparinized blood sampler B-129 Radiometer). Author: Sachs C, Rabouine P, Chaneac M, Kindermans C, Dechaux M. Journal: Scand J Clin Lab Invest; 1991 May; 51(3):303-6. PubMed ID: 1882182. Abstract: We report modifications of ionized calcium as observed on specimens collected in a commercially available sampling device (Radiometer B-129). When the sampler is used as recommended, errors are non-significant around 1.25 mmol l-1. There is a +3% increase for low (0.75 mmol l-1) values and a -2% decrease for high (2.50 mmol l-1) values. Incomplete syringe-filling increases these errors.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
