  • Abstract

 The main purpose of a critical-care laboratory (referred to interchangeably in this report as a “stat” laboratory) is to provide immediate laboratory data for the management of medical emergencies. Many hospitals with fewer than 200 beds and virtually all hospitals with more than 200 beds are equipped with critical-care laboratories that operate as satellite facilities of the central (routine) laboratory. In most teaching hospitals, testing in the stat laboratory has increased at a greater pace than that in the routine laboratory. This increase hascreated the need for satellite laboratories to meet clinical requirements for rapid analytical turnaround time (TAT), and to circumventproblems related to specimen transports.

 In this review we will consider the reasons for the increase in the critical-care laboratory workload, the ramifications of this increaseon the overall laboratory operation, and the criteria for monitoringand assuring effective critical-care laboratory service. Just as in thecentral laboratory, quality assurance in the critical-care laboratoryincludes test selection, specimen transport, and data dissemination aswell as analytical considerations. Appropriate attention to each ofthese factors is part of the laboratory's responsibility. Failure in anyone of these areas will obviate the contribution of the critical-care laboratory to patient care.
