Reliability of the HemoCue® hemoglobinometer in critically ill patients [PDF]
Critical Care, 2010 In the ICU, the hemoglobin concentration is currently estimated by portable hemoglobinometer and in emergency transfusion a decision can be based on that result. The aim of the study was to compare the HemoCue® with laboratory determination of the blood hemoglobin concentration in critically ill patients with a high risk of bleeding.
