“…In order to obtain more complete information about changes in the components of this balance, we examined antioxidant capacity of blood serum using CV method. It has been found that at the time of admission, the value of antioxidant capacity, expressed in the amount of electricity spent for oxidation of antioxidants, was 25 (19; 29) μC and was within the range of Q values found for apparently healthy people (22 (19; 25) μC [34]) (Figure 2).…”

“…The examined patients were divided into 2 groups according to the trauma outcome criterion: the group of survivors and the group of non‐survivors. As reference values, we used the data of blood serum analysis of practically healthy volunteers, which we obtained earlier [8, 34].…”
In this work we used electrochemical methods, open circuit potential (OCP) measurement with platinum electrode, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in blood serum to assess redox states in patients with polytrauma (n=56) that allow to evaluate probability of survival early on, and therefore have the potential to improve therapy outcomes. Electrochemical assessment of redox states in sera samples correlated with traditional methods of prooxidant/antioxidant balance quantification. OCP and quantity of electricity passed (Q), calculated from CVs, were significantly different between the survivors and non‐survivors. Patients with Q>22 μC (day 1) and OCP>34 mV (day 3) had low chance of survival.

“…It is worth mentioning that attempts to study blood serum voltammetrically date back to the early works of Koryta et al [5,6], where CV was applied at a Pt electrode. More recent studies have used CV to detect antioxidants or to generally characterize the redox status of a serum [41,42]. However, when comparing the typical SW voltammetric pro le of a serum sample (red curve in Fig.…”
A study on voltammetric analysis of whole blood serum is presented using advanced square-wave voltammetry at an edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode. The results demonstrate that even in a complex medium like human blood serum, electrochemical characterization can be achieved through the use of advanced voltammetric techniques in conjunction with an appropriate commercially available electrode, such as the edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode, which boasts superior electrocatalytic properties. Without undergoing any chemical treatment of the serum sample, the square-wave voltammetry technique reveals, for the first time, the electrode reactions of uric acid, bilirubin, and albumin in a single experiment, as represented by well-defined, separated, and intense voltammetric signals. All electrode processes are surface-confined, indicating that the edge plane sites of the electrode serve as an ideal platform for the competitive adsorption of electroactive species, despite the extensive chemical complexity of the serum samples. The speed and differential nature of square-wave voltammetry are crucial for obtaining an outstanding resolution of the voltammetric peaks, maintaining the quasi-reversible nature of the underlying electrode processes, while reducing the impact of follow-up chemical reactions that are coupled to the initial electron transfer for all three detected species, and minimizing fouling of the electrode surface.
