The question is based on the findings of a study comparing serum and LIH tubes in clinical chemistry and immunoassay tests. The study suggests that LIH tubes can effectively substitute serum tubes for most tests, except LDH, and that LIH plasma tubes enhance sample quality, reduce turnaround time (TAT), and decrease the incidence of aspiration errors in emergency laboratory settings.
The findings of the study indicate significant implications for laboratory practices and healthcare quality improvement. Firstly, LIH tubes can be utilized as effective substitutes for serum tubes in most clinical chemistry and immunoassay tests, except for LDH. Additionally, the adoption of LIH plasma tubes can lead to improved sample quality, reduced turnaround time (TAT), and decreased incidence of aspiration errors in emergency laboratory settings. Integrating LIH tubes into clinical laboratory practices has the potential to enhance healthcare quality by improving sample quality, reducing TAT, and alleviating the workload of laboratory staff.
