Laboratory Record

Abstract A punched-card system was developed to simplify the administrative aspects of the clinical chemistry laboratory. In it a three-part requisition and samples are matched and given a laboratory number. The third copy of the original laboratory requsition is a charge card also used as a name file for the day. Prepunched cards, coded for laboratory tests, are used for each test requested. The laboratory number is stamped and punched on each test card. All test cards are then sorted into laboratory test groups, after which the laboratory data and results are recorded on them. Cards are then sorted for laboratory number and rematched with the original laboratory requisitions, which remained in numerical order. Results are then copied directly onto the requisitions. The system is more efficient, less susceptible to error, and simpler than other laboratory record systems.

Clinical Chemistry Laboratory

An off-line data processing system for a clinical chemistry laboratory serving a 1000-bedded teaching hospital is described. This system is based upon an IBM 360/40 computer and an SMA 12/60 multichannel analyser which is coupled through a Technilogger II to an automatic keypunch. This covers 30% of all the tests: data for other AutoAnalyzers has to be punched on to separate cards manually along with the patient identification. Data are matched with patient requisitions which have already been keypunched and entered into the computer. Advantages include reduction of manual transcription of data, the automatic production of two ward reports a day and a cumulative patient report daily and weekly, and automatic quality control programs. A permanent record is kept on magnetic tape.

Abstract We define the following criteria for enzyme assays as being beyond compromise: narrow bandpass double-beam spectrophotometer, multiple readings on the sample (kinetic procedure), temperature control of assay reaction mixture to ±0.1°C, wash-out between samples less than 1% of the preceding sample, and sample size of 100 µl or less. In addition, the following specifications for a system were considered desirable: automatic handling of the sample from initial pipetting through readout, adequate computer compatibility, versatility so that new procedures and different methods could be used, relatively short set-up time, and hard-copy backup in the event the computer failed. We have developed a system for enzyme assays that meets all of the above criteria. It consists of an analyzer (Beckman DSA-560) coupled to two modified Eskalab Spectrophotometers Alpha. The system is controlled via a special-purpose hybrid computer designed and built in our laboratory. Data from the system is analyzed on-line by an IBM 1800 computer. Details of the operation and reliability of the system in a routine clinical chemistry laboratory are discussed.

Intravenous Fat Emulsions

The Committee on Nutrition, American Academy of Pediatrics has recently reported on the "Use of Intravenous Fat Emulsions in Pediatric Patients" (Pediatrics 68:738, 1981). The committee recommends restriction of the amount of fat emulsion given infants because of a lack of accurate and appropriate means of monitoring serum fatty acid and triglyceride concentrations. Such is not the case for triglycerides. The pediatric clinical chemistry laboratory has the ability to measure serum triglyceride concentrations to support hyperalimentation therapeutic monitoring.
