Abstract
The present invention provides a method for determining at least one evaluation parameter of a blood sample, comprising the following steps: providing (S4) at least one blood gas parameter; providing (S5) at least one hemostasis parameter; and determining (S6 . . . S10″) the at least one evaluation parameter as a function of the blood gas parameter and/or the hemostasis parameter.
Claims3
An apparatus for determining at least one evaluation parameter of a blood sample, comprising:
- a blood gas analyzer configured to determine at least one blood gas parameter of the blood sample from the group of pH level and partial pressure of oxygen;
- a thromboelastometer configured to determine at least one hemostasis parameter of the blood sample from the group of blood clotting time and blood clot formation time;
- and
- an evaluation unit coupled to the thromboelastometer via a first data interface, coupled to the blood gas analyzer via a second data interface and configured to determine the at least one evaluation parameter as a function of the blood gas parameter and the hemostasis parameter, the evaluation unit comprising a processor;
- wherein the processor is programmed to determine the at least one evaluation parameter of at least one blood sample by carrying out computer-executable instructions on in a non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing steps comprising:
- providing the at least one blood gas parameter;
- providing the at least one hemostasis parameter;
- providing an interdependence parameter describing an interdependence between the blood gas parameter and the hemostasis parameter;
- and
- determining the at least one evaluation parameter as a function of the blood gas parameter and the hemostasis parameter;
- wherein determining the evaluation parameter comprises at least one of the following:
- comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter range and/or comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter value;
- wherein comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter range and/or comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter value is performed as a function of the interdependence parameter;
- and
- wherein the interdependence parameter is provided by reading out a sensor, reading out a data input device and/or reading out a data storage.
