Study Notes
Clinical Chemistry Post Lecture Exam - Study Notes
-
RACE acronym: In fire safety, the E stands for Extinguish.
-
Delta Check: The difference between two consecutive measurements of the same individual.
-
Westgard Rules: The 2 2s rule is used as a warning.
-
Quality Management: Benchmarking is the process of comparing a patient's results against previous records.
-
Analytical Methods: Accuracy is the ability of a method to measure the analyte of interest. Precision describes the ability of measurements to be consistent. Specificity ensures only the analyte of interest is measured, while sensitivity measures the method's ability to detect small amounts of the analyte.
-
Quality Control: Maintaining the accuracy of analytical methods is a key aspect of quality control. This typically involves quality assurance procedures and interlaboratory quality control.
-
Fire Safety/Precautions: The process of handling samples, reagents, and equipment in a laboratory setting is paramount to health and safety. Proper precautions and safety protocols are crucial in minimizing risks.
-
Clinical Chemistry Phases: Pre-analytic, analytic, post-analytic phases are involved in lab testing.
-
Random Error Cause: Possible causes include pipetting error, deterioration of reagents, and temperature fluctuations.
-
Systematic Error Cause: Possible causes include contaminated solutions, leaky ISEs, improper mixing of reagents and samples, unstable reagent blanks.
-
Significant Figures/Data Reporting: Correct pipetting using air displacement ensures accurate measurements during lab testing procedures.
-
Conversion: 10 mg/dL of immunoglobulins = 1 g/L.
-
Extreme Danger: The numerical classifications for extreme danger vary depending on the specific context and are not consistently defined.
-
Lean Six Sigma Quality Improvement: Procedures involved include Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC)
Additional Topics
