Identificación de un factor de corrección para hematocrito y hemoglobina, realizado entre un método automatizado y un método manual

Abstract

The investigation was carried out with the purpose of identifying a correction factor for hematocrit and hemoglobin, carried out between the automated method and the manual method, which will provide the Laboratory of Biochemical and Bacteriological Analysis of the Technical University of Ambato with support to provide results with a high level of precision and reliability so that the clinician can establish an adequate diagnosis and later give an ideal treatment to said alteration. According to this type of research, the approach is quantitative-qualitative. The research was carried out in a sample of 197 male and female patients between the ages of 18 and 27 who come for examinations in the Biochemical and Bacteriological Analysis laboratory. The correction factor was for hematocrit 1.0 with standard deviation 0.02% and for hemoglobin 1.1 with standard deviation 0.07%, based on the average of the differences of the V.real/V.theoretical. In my study the correction factor was obtained, but it was not applied to the results obtained because the difference is not clinically significant..I have considered that clinical laboratory personnel must responsibly abide by all standardized procedures for both the manual andautomated methods to obtain reliable results with a minimum percentage of error.
