• Arterial blood gas analysis

Objective: To assess prevalence of interference from hemolysis, lipaemia, icterus in arterial blood gas analysis (ABC). %26lt;br%26gt;Design: Serum indices (SI) were assessed in the plasma of ABC samples over a 2-month period. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: Out of a total of 478 ABG specimens, we identified 17 hemolyzed samples (4%), 52 (11%) with lipaemia, and 63 (13%) with icterus. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion: Test results on a considerable number of ABC specimens might be unreliable due to presence of interference.
