If getting an ABG - will do an extended panel which includes LA We can get a venous sample and run it on our ABG analyzer in the ED or can send a venous sample to Lab but it takes longer to get results. EMS providers will get a tube on patients in the field. Techs or RN's can get the sample.
We did evaluate running LA with venous sample and running on the ABG analyzer. We checked tourniquet time impact and matched values to assure accuracy. Repeat values can be done either of the three ways. What's chosen depends on how sick the patient is and how quickly it's needed.

We have been using the Dombrovskiy criteria as our main outcome metric for many years now. After ICD-10, which code(s) will people use? Looking forward to hearing people's thoughts....

As an emergency nurse I do not know what the numerical range for 2 standard deviations outside of a normal heart rate for an adult is? Or for children? Can someone explain this or provide some reference material that discussing what these values are? I received once response (60-100bpm) +/- 24bpm. Can you please advise me, Kind regards, Shelley Storozuk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
