Hi, The nurse orders the ABG's in OE which then notifies Respiratory. In the past, resp techs drew them and brought them to the lab to run and result. Now resp techs have point of care analyzers they run and result (Abbott I-stat).

I would welcome any information on how you have set up Respiratory Therapy in Lab. Are the nurses ordering ABGs in OE? If so, where do the labels print? Do you use collection batches? How much demographic/sample information is included on your ABG report? Where are the ABG analyzers (in the main lab or in separate area) and who is running the specimens? Just some of the topics I would love information on. We have 2 Rapid Point 405 instruments and the uni-directional interface with Meditech is working fine. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback...
