There is a section on "Pneumatic Tube Delivery" in Morton Schwartz's review
article in Advances in Clinical Chemistry volume 16 (1973) entitled
Interferences in Diagnostic Biochemical Procedures.
This gives 3 references (McClelland 1964), Delbrich (1968) and Stuge (1971)
which demonstrated that "shipping 5ml of heparinized blood specimens for pH
and blood gas analysis did not effect pH or pCO2, but pO2 showed modest
increases..."
Sometimes the data is in the literature, but not necessarily on-line

Subject: Blood gas
Dear Colleagues,
How many labs accepts blood gas sample if it was sent through a pneumatic
chute?
If you do are the results reliable if so which?
If a sample you know is going to give the wrong result would you give the
sample back to the Dr if he demands it?
Once the sample arrives in the lab. to whom does the sample belong to apart
form the patient - the Dr or the lab? Can the Dr demand this sample?
I'll collate the answers.
Thank you.
Bharat
