Concordance of the ions and GAP anion obtained by gasometry vs standard laboratory in critical care
ConclusionsPoor concordance was observed between the ion values as determined by biochemistry and blood gases; the two methods are therefore not interchangeable. Kappa agreement with normality limits was good for sodium and potassium, and weak for chlorine. Possible validity was noted in orienting the classification within the ion limits, with the exception of chlorine. No agreement was recorded in relation to the anion GAP, even that corrected for albumin.ResumenObjetivoEvaluar las diferencias observadas en la determinación de los iones y del anión GAP obtenidos por gasometría (POC) y por bioquímica de laboratorio, y ...
