PERBEDAAN NILAI HEMOGLOBIN SEGERA DIPERIKSA DAN DISIMPAN SELAMA 30 JAM PADA SUHU 2-8C

Haematology examination consists of a group of complete laboratory tests that are often requested by clinicians, complete blood tests include hemoglobin hematology levels, erythrocyte count, leukocyte type count, hematocrit (Ht) and reticulocyte counts. Hemoglobin examination needs to pay attention to several factors that affect the stability of blood samples so that there are no deviations in the test results. Such factors are temperature, duration of storage, contamination, the influence of rays and evaporation. Sample storage is carried out in the event of a delay in examination, the sample will be referred to another laboratory, besides that examination delays often occur, and are caused by the lack of medical personnel, dense volume of work, or non-technical problems that occur during the inspection. The purpose of the study to determine the difference in hemoglobin values was immediately checked and stored for 30 hours at a temperature of 2-8 °C. The type of research used is comparative descriptive with a total sample of 30 samples. Analysis of the results was carried out with the statistical test Paired T Test. The average hemoglobin test results were immediately examined 12.9 g / dL while the average hemoglobin was stored for 30 hours at a temperature of 2-8 °C 12.7 g / dL, The results of the Paired T Test show p < 0.05, meaning that there is a significant difference between hemoglobin values immediately examined and stored for 30 hours at a temperature of 2-8 °C.
