In this episode you will learn: - Why a mislabeled specimen is a critical error that always requires recollection without exception. - The importance of the nine-to-one blood-to-additive ratio in light blue top tubes and how underfilling falsely prolongs coagulation results. - How hemolysis, the rupture of red blood cells, can falsely elevate analytes such as potassium, leading to inaccurate test results. - The reason clotted EDTA (lavender top) tubes are rejected for hematology tests like the CBC and the importance of proper mixing to prevent it. - The standard lab procedure following a specimen rejection, which involves notifying the provider and recollecting the sample to ensure patient safety and accurate diagnosis.
