Yes. Our Haematology are converting Haemoglobin to g/L.
We will have to do the same on blood gas analysers.

Note which way around the scale of units is on paracetamol “overdose” chart
Tendency is to read left hand axis. If using SI units, error likely to occur
I know, have seen a case
Question is, why does even the BNF persist in printing charts with both units – which would allow confusion to potentially arise.

May be labs should dual report everything!
Treatment errors can occur when paracetamol concentrations are misunderstood. The cardinal measurement in ascertaining risk is the timed plasma paracetamol concentration.
Patients have died when doctors have thought that results quoted in mmol/L are actually in mg/L (151 mg=1 mmol) and have therefore withheld acetylcysteine.32 "

Surely, that’s acceptable.
We’re giving an analytically correct value : they are translating into what they understand.
But over time they’ll get used to the “new numbers” and won’t need the tables.
Who else is old enough to remember the change from mg/dL ?

We stopped dual reporting but it transpired that users, or at least unknown number of them, have printed conversion tables to convert
back to old monies. May be that is why ' we have had no problems or complaints'!

Dear All
Quick show of hands - how many labs are still reporting HbA1c in both DCCT & IFCC numbers?
My hand is up! It will be interesting to see if our lab is out on a limb.............
