Performance of the New RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas Analyzer and its Comparison with Central Laboratory Biochemistry Analyzer |
Background: Blood gas analyzers are commonly used in point of care settings in hospitals to assess and monitor critically ill patients. The blood gas analyzer, RAPIDPoint 500e (Siemens Healthcare, UK), has been newly introduced. Here, we evaluated the performance of RAPIDPoint 500e for the determination of pH, partial carbon dioxide pressure, partial oxygen pressure, sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl−), ionized calcium, glucose, and lactate.
