Abstract
Results: A total of 60 samples from 20 consecutive patients were collected and assayed. The mean patient age was 72 years, and 75% patients were men. The 95% limit of agreement for pH, PCO2, PO2, Na, K, Ca, and SO2 were similar for both dedicated and plastic syringes. HCO3 and BE were significantly higher in the samples taken with plastic syringes, whereas Hb and Ht could not be measured accurately with any syringe.
