Therefore, the European Preanalytical Scientific Committee, in collaboration with the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry Working Group on Patient Safety, have designed a questionnaire to collect data on prevalence and management of hemolytic specimens referred to the clinical laboratories for clinical chemistry testing. This book will help identify the areas where hemolysis occurs most frequently, which can, in turn, guide further analysis about why it is occurring. Once these elements are known, practices and procedures can be implemented to dramatically reduce hemolysis and avoid erroneous laboratory results affecting patient care and increasing laboratory costs.Patient SafetyHematologyStandardsBloodExaminationElectronic books.HematologyStandards.BloodExamination.616.1/5Lippi Giuseppe736715Cervellin Gianfranco, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.Favaloro Emmanuel J., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.Plebani Mario, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464696503321In vitro and in vivo hemolysis2488858UNINA
