Comparison of Fingertip Hemoglobin Value with Venous Hemoglobin Value in Bleeding Patients Followed at the Emergency Department

Key Points

• To compare fingertip hemoglobin values with venous hemoglobin values in bleeding patients in the emergency department.
• Utilized bedside fingertip devices for direct hemogram measurement.
• Collected venous blood samples for comparison.
• Analyzed hemoglobin readings from both methods in emergency settings.
• Fingertip hemoglobin values closely matched venous hemoglobin values.
• Using fingertip devices was quicker and easier than traditional methods.
• Indicated potential for faster patient assessment in emergency situations.
