Free hemoglobin determination at patients’ bedside to evaluate hemolysis

Baud B, Dupuy A, Zozor S, et al. | Bioanalysis, 16(02), 65-74, (2024) Keywords: • accuracy • bedside • ECMO • extracorporeal membrane oxygenation • free hemoglobin • interference • POC • point of care Background: The authors report the relevance of using a point of care test (Helge®) for free hemoglobin determination and concordance of the values the with Cobas® 8000 and spectrophotometer methods. Results: The within-run of the point of care test was <3%. Good correlations among the three methods were observed and an acceptable concordance for hemolysis index values from 50 mg/dl. An excellent agreement between the Cobas 8000 and the spectrophotometer was found. Conclusion: Automated...
