102
Q

Creat

A

Creatinine (from the BMP)

  • > 1.4
  • Assesses kidney function. Creatinine must be obtained prior to ordering any CT with IV contrast due to IV contrast stressing the kidneys. Any pt with a Creatinine > 1.4 cannot receive IV contrast.
103
Q

Obtaining a Serum (Blood) Lab Result

A
  1. The lab order is placed by a physician
  2. The nurse draws the blood into specific vials used for each lab study
  3. The tubes are placed in plastic bags, and delivered to lab
  4. The lab tech runs the samples through analysis machines
  5. After the machine produces the results the lab tech loads the results into an electronic system, making the results available to view.
104
Q

Hemolyzed sample

A

The blood cells have broken down, which may skew some results of the blood sample. If a sample is hemolyzed the nurse must often “re-draw” the blood and send another sample to lab. Alert your physician as soon as possible if a blood sample ever results as “hemolyzed”.
