PATIENT SAFETY IN VITRO AND IN VIVO HEMOLYSIS...

Defined as red blood cell break down and the release of hemoglobin and intracellular contents
into the plasma  hemolysis can seriously impact patient care as well as the laboratory's
reputation through its affect on test results. 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.
