Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Accurate total hemoglobin concentration (ctHb) measurement is critical for clinical decision-making, particularly in acute care, where immediate therapeutic decisions are required. This study evaluated previously established laboratory-based accuracy criteria for ctHb measurements in routine clinical practice at an interdisciplinary operative intensive care unit (IO-ICU), and with particular attention to significantly reduced hemoglobin concentrations.
