PLoS ONE 16(2):Įditor: Vince Grolmusz, Mathematical Institute, HUNGARY This study supports the use of the i-STAT PCA for the evaluation of these analytes, with the exception of K, in the Asian elephant.Citation: Forsal I, Nilsson A, Bodelsson M, Wieslander A, Broman M (2021) Mathematical modelling of post-filter ionized calcium during citrate anticoagulated continuous renal replacement therapy. Within the reference range for iCa 2, the iCa 2 values obtained by the i-STAT PCA and Radiometer ABL 800 Flex were close in value, however in light of the constant and proportionate biases detected, overestimation at higher values and underestimation at lower values of iCa 2 by the i-STAT PCA would be of potential concern. Despite bias, mean differences assessed via Bland-Altman plots were clinically acceptable for all analytes excluding K. Comparison of the results from the two analyzers at 4 hr postsampling found very strong or strong correlation in all values except K, with statistically significant bias in all values except glucose and PCO 2. Statistical analysis using correlation coefficients, Passing-Bablok regression analysis, and Bland-Altman plots found good agreement between results from samples run immediately after phlebotomy and 4 hr postsampling on the i-STAT PCA with the exception of K, which is known to change with sample storage. Analytes evaluated were hydrogen ion concentration (pH), glucose, potassium (K ), sodium (Na ), bicarbonate (HCO 3 −), total carbon dioxide (TCO 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO 2), and ionized calcium (iCa 2 ). In addition, the effect of sample storage was evaluated on the i-STAT PCA. In this study, the i-STAT PCA was compared with the Radiometer ABL 800 Flex benchtop analyzer using 24 heparinized whole blood samples obtained from healthy E. This analyzer is commonly used in nondomestic animals however, validation of this method in comparison with traditional benchtop methods should be performed for each species.
Ionized calcium istat portable#
Thei-STAT® portable clinical analyzer (PCA) provides patient-side results for hematologic, biochemical, and blood gas values when immediate results are desired.
