2 WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DISCUSS? Gus Koerbin Introduction and some recapping of 2017 Roger Ashton ABG The New Zealand data Gus Koerbin Australian ABG flagging rates Rita Horvath VBG The NSW Health experience Gus Koerbin Some additional venous data Summary

3 Some introductory questions

4 Some introductory questions Question 1 Who has VBG reference intervals? Question 2 Who has different ABG and VBG reference intervals? Question 3 Is it appropriate to report Arterial intervals for venous gases?

5 What are we going to work through today? Is there enough data to decide whether to harmonise RI? What are the flagging rates? Are the RI that will be discussed suitable? We will not discuss all the analytes that are produced when a blood gas is requested but concentrate on a few such as: ph, pco2 po2 bicarb, ica,

6 Is there any instrument related reason not to harmonise a group of analytes? Ideally we would use a bias study using commutable material (Human) Is this feasible? Is it possible? RCPA QAP Not human material But does give us an idea of how instruments perform relative to each other Consider ph, pco2, po2 and ica

12 Arterial Blood Gas We have seen some of the NSW data last year and it was based on survey results. Note: This has been updated in 2018 after consultation NSW Reference intervals by consensus ABG state of the art, flag rates 10-20% (later) Ken Sikaris has produced some Melbourne flag rates differences

13 Venous Blood Gas In NSW in some instances there were no VBG RI s caused incidents in NSW Is it better to have something that is OK than nothing at all ISO requirements: must have some way of interpreting (not necessarily RI) but you must have soothing to support the interpretation. Some more VBG flagging rates

14 Over to Roger

15 Arterial blood gas (Flagging rates) Gus Koerbin Adjunct Professor, University Of Canberra, Faculty of Health Visiting Fellow, ANU, College of Health and Medicine

16 Flagging rates Excess flagging of results can lead to inappropriate testing due to decreased specificity of the RI. The flagging rates provided in this review are those when community samples are considered.

31 How are the ABG RI s used diagnosis and monitoring (sick people not surprised at high flag rates) not used for screening generally what is the cut off with flag rates what is the clinical response to the gas result? Who can contribute What is the ideal clinician group Respiratory, ED. Clinical decision points may be different to the RI Interpreted as part of a pattern don t interpret pco2 without ph and bicarbonate

32 What now? Roger has presented the New Zealand ABG data We have seen some of the NSW data last year based on survey results. ABG state of the art, flag rates 10-20% or greater Melbourne flag rates differences NSW Reference intervals by consensus For Discussion NZ and NSW ABG RI s are now the same Are these values candidates for harmonised RI s?

37 Venous pco2 Cumulative (Flag Rate) If using the same mmhg limits, the resp acidosis flag rate would increase from 25% (arterial) to 45% (venous) To maintain a similar rate rate to arterial flag rate (25%), the upper pco2 limit would need to be increase from 45 to 50. Conversely, to maintain arterial resp alkalosis arterial flag rate (15%), the lower limit would need to increase from 35 to about 37 mmhg.

41 Summary where to now? Are there any significant method differences? CLSI: if population and analysers similar then can adopt harmonised RI s Venous Is it better to have some reference intervals that are venous specific, than none at all or using inappropriate arterial RI s? How much more work needs to be done for adoption of harmonised RI s (venous and arterial)? Have we got enough data to suggest RI s for some analytes undertaken in ABG analysis? Are the NZ/NSW ABG and VBG reference intervals suitable as candidates for harmonised RI s
