One of the
trainees spotted this today. A patient’s MCV had changed by about ten per cent
overnight. Whilst it was a “normal” result, it shouldn’t do that.
We had a
really good chat about why this might have been. Did we have the right sample?
Had the wrong patient been bled? Were the analysers working properly?
It turned
out the sample was over a day old.
I quite
like these little ad-hoc teaching sessions.
