| Popis: | Adapting the concept of "bed-side" patient analysis, the Boehringer-Mannheim Reflotron was evaluated for its possible use in veterinary medicine under outdoor-field conditions. Horse blood was analysed with the Cobas Bio analyzer, and indoor and outdoor analyses were also performed with the Reflotron. All values showed close agreement with no significant differences. Good correlation coefficients (r values around 0.9000) were also seen between all methods used. The Reflotron was operated under outdoor-field conditions by using, whenever available, an on-farm electricity source, or a gas operated generator. The data supports the proposal to adapt the Reflotron (or any other proved system) for outdoor-field, patient-side blood analysis, thus providing the veterinary clinician with values for blood quantities, and enabling an improved and more complete diagnosis. |
