ABSTRACT:
Background: One of the important functions of a clinical biochemistry laboratory is clear, accurate, and rapid communication of a critical value to clinicians. Critical values are important and patients require immediate treatment. Patient safety is a cornerstone of healthcare quality, including clinical laboratory services. The present study was aimed to analyse the critical values data in the laboratory settings and compare it with the available data from other studies.
Materials and methods: The present study was conducted at a Subbaiah institute of medical sciences, Shimoga , Karnataka, India over a period of 6 months. The critical values data of several biochemical parameters were obtained from the critical value register. All information accessed was analysed with the main laboratory register of the biochemistry department. The data thus generated was expressed in terms of percentage and presented in tabular form.
Results: A total of 24588 tests were done in our hospital during the study period and 313 critical alerts were generated. Percentage of critical values for each parameters and total tests were recorded. Our results indicated that the mean percentage of critical values was 1.2% of total tests. This was compared with the other studies which has a value of 2.6% and 6.4% as shown in the table 2.
Conclusion: Though our results support the patient safety programregarding regular monitoring and evaluation on the management of laboratory critical values, we still need further studies of critical values in larger scale.
