Background: Centrifugation is a consuming time step which participates to increase the turnaround time (TAT) in laboratories, likewise hemolysis sample that needs a re-sampling could delay management of patients. Recently, it has been postulated that BD Barricor™ tube could allow to decrease the centrifugation time and prevent hemolysis, two key feature to ensure high-quality results.Aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of replacing 4 mL BD vacutainer heparin lithium tube by low vacuum 3.5 mL BD vacutainer Barricor™ tube in an emergency department (ED) on hemolysis rate and TAT. Methods: Data of hemolysis index (HI) and TAT were compared between the first period of 15 days using 4 mL BD vacutainer heparin lithium tubes with 15 min at 2000xg as centrifugation setting and a second period of 15 days using BD vacutainer Barricor™ tube centrifuged 3 min at 4000xg. Results: A significantly reduced time duration between reception of sample and available results in informatics lab system was observed with the reduction time of centrifugation allowed by use of Barricor™ tube compared to regular heparin lithium tubes (p |
