“…In addition, they also reported that the ratios for insufficient samples for the two groups were 2.9% and 0.9%, respectively. Similarly, Oliver et al (10) did not provide any specific total SRR; however, they reported that BGA SRR specific to each department would be expected to be less than 10% . Accordingly, they reported that only BGA SRRs of the samples received from the Delivery room exceeded 10% during certain months and the most frequent causes for sample rejection were often associated with the preanalytical phase.…”

“…Additionally, BGA collection is technically challenging for the phlebotomy staff and may also be painful for the patient from whom the blood sample is collected (9). Therefore, the requirement for resampling in addition to causing a delay in the diagnosis and treatment opportunities in case of BGA sample rejection can be troublesome (10,11). Moreover, other problems such as obtaining inaccurate results or equipment failure may also arise due to lack to identify inappropriate BGA samples (e.g., micro clots, air bubbles, etc.)…”

“…In addition, the effect of hemolysis on BGA was investigated in particular (24)(25)(26)(27)(28). Moreover, quality indicators (QI) and SRRs in relation to BGA were also evaluated in a smaller number of studies (10,14,29,30). It was reported that there was a direct relationship between the sample quality and blood collection devices used, and BGA samples were among the types of samples determined as the most vulnerable to such effect (31).…”

Aim: The objective of this study is to evaluate blood gas analysis (BGA) sample rejection ratios (SRRs) in our laboratory and investigate the effect of various BGA syringes on SRR. Material and Method: 3 groups were formed based on the type and use period of BGA syringes. Syringes containing spray-dosed droplet liquid Lithium Heparin were used in Group 1 (November 2018–May 2019), syringes containing lyophilized dried Lithium Heparin were used in Group 2 (July 2019–January 2020), and another syringes containing spray-dosed droplet liquid Lithium Heparin were used in Group 3 (March 2020–September 2020), and the groups were determined based on such use. SRRs of these groups were calculated, causes for sample rejection were identified, and department-based investigations were conducted. Comparisons between groups were performed according to the indicated variables. Results: Mean SRRs of the groups by percentage (%) were calculated as 6.1±1.5, 10.0±0.9, and 3.8±0.9, respectively, and showed a statistically significant difference (p

“…Pre-analytical error might occur and it can affect the results. Any laboratory tool has to be approved and should be accredited according to the international clinical laboratory standards such as Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) standards proposed by the Centre for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ) 2 . Also, it is necessary to assess the precision of the test.…”
