Hi All
Apologies for my constant enquiries. Being new to the position (in a new role in the Trust) I have a lot to learn. Please can I ask what protocols other Trusts are following for blood gas analysis in the emergency department for patients that are being handed over from ambulance and have not been booked into the A&E department at the time of analysis? I understand that at this point some patients are 'unidentified', and that the tests are often carried out before a unique hospital number has been allocated.
It would be great to know how other Trusts handle this situation.
Kind regards
Michelle Bennett
