We have a blood gas analyser in our laboratory for the
following reasons:
ITU refuse to allow other staff to use their analyser
for infection control reasons and to minimise
disturbance to patients.
A/E refuse to allow other staff to use their analyser
as they do not see why they should pick up the running
costs of other departments.
NICU refuse to allow other staff to use their analyser
as they leave it an unnacceptably dirty state, do not
discard syringes or capillaries and persistently put
cardboard trays into sharps bins (This is apparently
infuriating)
Delivery ward won't let anyone use their analyser
because they have usually broken it themselves.
And I like an analyser in the lab as then at least I
know that one machine somewhere is actually working.
