Popis: A method of capillary blood collection is described, in which the main difficulty in the estimation of capillary blood potassium, i.e. high values, seems to have been overcome in most cases. A comparative analysis of capillary and venous blood potassium, showed an insignificant difference between the mean values. Estimations of capillary blood potassium, calcium, and alkaline phosphatase in normal newborns on the third day of life showed results comparable to that of venous blood values in normal adults. Sodium was moderately higher, and chloride and phosphorus, considerably higher than in normal adults. All six blood constituents were measured on 0.44 ml plasma.
