Abstract
Laboratory tests are one of the most commonly ordered tests in the ED and often the rate-limiting factor in the workup of a patient. The pneumatic tube system (PTS) can use to provide quick specimen delivery. First aim of this study was to assess PTS by comparing routine chemistry, hematology, coagulation blood test results and sample integrity indices between duplicate samples transported either manually or automatically. Also we tried to assess the contribution of PTS to reduction in lab turnaround times.
