  1. Understanding Lab Studies Bryan E. Bledsoe, DO, FACEP Midlothian, Texas

  2. Common Emergency Lab Tests • Hematology • Coagulation Tests • Chemistries: • Electrolytes • Renal Function Tests • Tests of Glucose Metabolism • Tests of Lipid Metabolism • Cardiac Enzymes and Markers • Tests of Liver Function

  3. Common Emergency Lab Tests • Serologic Testing • Blood Banking • Micobiological • Endocrine Tests • Microbiology • Urinalysis • Toxicology • Arterial Blood Gas

  4. Establishing Reference Values • Each lab must set reference values for their patient population. • National standards published annually in the New England Journal of Medicine. • Normal values MAY be abnormal for the patient in question.
