Abstract
Hemoglobin and hematocrit are parameters widely used. They can be obtained from an automated hematology analyzer or from an arterial blood gas analyzer. Its variability is shown in the article “Variability of hemoglobin and hematocrit determined in blood gas equipment.” Clinical and statistical information requested is extended for a better understanding of the article and its conclusions. It is suggested to carry out an analysis of variability in parameters and laboratory equipment.
