Enhancing Patient Safety: Addressing the Potentially Fatal Consequences of Undetected Hemolysis at the Point of Care

Tuesday, July 29
1:45 – 2:45 p.m.
Exhibit Hall Theater 2
Sponsored by Werfen

Overview

Join us for an insightful workshop exploring patient safety risks and potentially fatal outcomes due to undetected hemolysis at the point of care (POC). This workshop will cover patient cases where undetected hemolysis caused adverse patient outcomes and will highlight how undetected hemolysis is exacerbated by the insufficient awareness of blood gas testing limitations related to hemolysis. The importance of adopting solutions with integrated hemolysis detection to prevent these potential high-risk situations will be emphasized.
