>FBC,U&Es/glucose and G&S, before doing RSI through the needle.
Did you have any problem with U&Es etc?
Grisham and Hastings (Ann Emerg Med, 1991 20:10, 1121-4) found BM specimens
predictive of venous sodium and glucose (+others), similarly Ummenhofer et
al (1994, Resuscitation 27:2 123-8). Both found problems with potassium
however Ummenhofer et al still judged them to be clinically useful.
We were sceptical in this lab, but are doing some 'digging around' following
your thread - Thank you
