Subject: Neonatal bilirubin measurement on blood gas analysers

I would be keen to hear from hospitals where bilirubins are run on blood gas analysers. How do the results compare and how do you deal with the differences between levels measured at the bedside and levels measured by a different laboratory method?

Thanks in anticipation
