[OA-19] Comparing performance of two point-of-care testing (POCT) devices for haemoglobin measurement
Haemoglobin point-of-care test (POCT-Hb) devices can provide rapid evaluation for blood transfusion decisions in patients with critical bleeding at emergency, intensive care unit, and operating unit. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of two haemoglobin POC devices (HemoCue 201 DM and StatStrip Hb/Hct) in different specimen types. The first step, capillary, venous EDTA,...
[OA-17] The expression of CD15 in placental vessels belonging haemoglobin Bart's hydrops foetalis
Haemoglobin Bart can lead to hydrops foetalis (HF). Its placental findings include abnormally increased intermediate villi with immature endothelium. CD15 assists in diagnosis of delayed villous maturation by identification of foetoplacental endothelial immaturity. Thus, investigation of CD15 expression has benefit for understand pathophysiology of Hb Bart's HF. This study aimed to evaluate CD15 immunoreactivity in placental endothelium of Hb Bart's HF in comparison to that in other causes of HF. CD15 was performed in 14 cases of Hb Bart and 9 cases of HF by other causes...
