Impact of Emergency Department Phlebotomists on Left-Before-Treatment-Completion Rates
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2019 Introduction: The emergency department (ED) serves as the primary access point to the healthcare system. ED throughput efficiency is critical. The percentage of patients who leave before treatment completion (LBTC) is an important marker of department ...

Umbilical Cord Blood Banking and its Therapeutic Uses [PDF]
ijsrit. 5 (2002) 160-172, 2018 Umbilical cord blood (UBC) can be viewed as the most promising source of stem cells, in which collection cost is minimal and its benefits are immense. The cord blood is used to treat malignant and nonmalignant diseases; this is due to its progenitor characteristics know as stem cells.Its properties of being, immunologically immature and high plasticity

A theoretical framework for multi-physics modeling of poro-visco-hyperelasticity-induced time-dependent fracture of blood clots [PDF]
arXivFracture resistance of blood clots plays a crucial role in physiological hemostasis and pathological thromboembolism. Although recent experimental and computational studies uncovered the poro-viscoelastic property of blood clots and its connection to the time-dependent deformation behavior, the effect of these time-dependent processes on clot fracture ...

Simulating the blood transfusion system in Kenya: Modelling methods and exploratory analyses [PDF]
arXivThe process of collecting blood from donors and making it available for transfusion requires a complex series of operations involving multiple actors and resources at each step. Ensuring hospitals receive adequate and safe blood for transfusion is a common challenge across low- and middle-income countries, but is rarely addressed from a system level ...

Evaluation of different needle gauge blood collection sets (23G/25G) in aged patients
Journal of Laboratory MedicineAged patients are often characterized by difficult blood sampling conditions. Smaller needle gauge (G) may be beneficial for venous access and reduced pain perception, however, potentially at the expense of lower blood quality for laboratory measurements.
