Randomized Controlled TrialReduction of gross hemolysis in catheter-drawn blood using Greiner Holdex tube holder.
Blood collection through intravenous lines frequently causes spurious hemolysis. Due to specific structure, the tube holder Holdex (Greiner Bio-One GmbH, Kremsmuenster, Austria) is supposed to prevent erythrocyte injury in samples collected from catheters, so that we planned a specific study to support this hypothesis. ⋯ The use of Holdex for drawing blood from intravenous lines may be effective for reducing gross hemolysis.
