Pediatric Reference Intervals for Critical Point-of-Care Whole Blood Assays in the CALIPER Cohort of Healthy Children and Adolescents

Abstract Objectives Point-of-care testing (POCT) is being increasingly adopted to support clinical care. Data for critical care parameters in healthy children on POCT instruments are lacking. We established comprehensive reference standards for several whole blood parameters on the Radiometer ABL90...

Summary:Abstract Objectives Point-of-care testing (POCT) is being increasingly adopted to support clinical care. Data for critical care parameters in healthy children on POCT instruments are lacking. We established comprehensive reference standards for several whole blood parameters on the Radiometer ABL90 FLEX PLUS blood gas analyzer in the Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Paediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) cohort.
