The following categories of preanalytical errors were noted in the study.<\/div>\n<div>1.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Misidentification ( Incorrectly labelled vials or incorrectly filled forms)<\/div>\n<div>2.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Incorrect samples ( wrong choice of vials)<\/div>\n<div>3.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Clotted samples<\/div>\n<div>4.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Inadequate sample<\/div>\n<div>5.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Diluted samples\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>6.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Hemolysed samples<\/div>\n<div>7.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Lipemic sample<\/div>\n<div>Results: Preanlaytical errors were detected in 68 samples (4%). The most common preanalytical error was hemolysed sample (36%) followed by lipemic sample. The errors were more common in inpatient samples collected by staff nurse when compared to outpatient samples.<\/div>\n<div>Conclusion: The preanalytical phase is a good contributor to laboratory error. In our study we demonstrated that the frequency of analytical errors in our laboratory routine (4%) is in accordance with the international scientific literature. Systematic documentation of frequency and type of lab errors should be done in every laboratory and corrective measures should be taken appropriately.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Keywords: Preanalytical, Laboratory errors, quality<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/admin\/ufile\/1434535268IJTA_22_10-13.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zubair Hasan, Kumaran C.
