Abstract

The present invention provides a method for determining at least one evaluation parameter of a blood sample, comprising the following steps: providing (S 4 ) at least one blood gas parameter; providing (S 5 ) at least one hemostasis parameter; and determining (S 6 . . . S 10 ″) the at least one evaluation parameter as a function of the blood gas parameter and/or the hemostasis parameter.

Claims (26)

1. A method for determining at least one evaluation parameter of at least one blood sample, comprising:

providing at least one blood gas parameter;

providing at least one hemostasis parameter;

providing an interdependence parameter describing an interdependence between the blood gas parameter and the hemostasis parameter; and

determining the at least one evaluation parameter as a function of the blood gas parameter and the hemostasis parameter;

wherein determining the evaluation parameter comprises at least one of the following: comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter range and/or comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter value;

wherein comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter range and/or comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter value is performed as a function of the interdependence parameter; and

wherein the interdependence parameter is provided by reading out a sensor, reading out a data input device and/or reading out a data storage.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of pro-viding the blood gas parameter comprises at least one of the following steps: performing a blood gas analysis, measuring the blood gas parameter, reading out a sensor, reading out a data input device and/or reading out a data storage.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the blood gas parameter is selected from and/or is a function of at least one of a group of parameters, the group comprising: a partial pressure of carbon dioxide, a partial pressure of oxygen, a partial pressure of nitrogen oxide, a pH-level, a base excess, a base deficit, hematocrit, a bicarbonate level, a concentration of lactate, a concentration of electrolytes, in particular calcium ions, a concentration of hemoglobin, a concentration of oxyhemoglobin, a concentration of carboxyhemoglobin and/or a concentration of methemoglobin.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the hemostasis parameter comprises at least a one of the following steps: performing a hemostasis analysis, measuring the hemostasis parameter, reading out a sensor, reading out a data input device and/or reading out a data storage.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hemostasis parameter is a coagulation parameter or a clot lysis parameter.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the coagulation parameter is selected from and/or is a function of at least one of a group of parameters, the group comprising: a clotting time, a clot formation time, a clot firmness, a maximum clot firmness, a fibrinogen functionality, a platelet functionality, an inhibitor functionality, in particular a protein C-level, a tissue factor passway inhibitor (TFPI)-level or an ATIII-level, and/or sample viscosity.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the steps of: providing a temperature parameter of the blood sample, a temperature parameter of a patient's body and/or an expected temperature parameter of a patient's body and determining the evaluation parameter also as a function of the temperature parameter.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the step of pro-viding the temperature parameter comprises at least a one of the following steps: measuring the temperature parameter, reading out a sensor, reading out a data input device and/or reading out a data storage.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the step of determining the evaluation parameter comprises at least one of the following steps: comparing the temperature parameter with a temperature parameter range and/or comparing the temperature parameter with a temperature parameter value.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of providing an interdependence parameter describing an interdependence between at least two of a group of parameters, the group comprising: the blood gas parameter, the hemostasis parameter and the temperature parameter.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the blood gas parameter range, the blood gas parameter value, the temperature parameter range, the temperature parameter value and/or the interdependence parameter is provided by calculating, estimating, measuring, reading out a sensor, reading out a data input device and/or reading out a data storage.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the step of comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter range and/or comparing the blood gas parameter with a blood gas parameter value is performed as a function of the interdependence parameter.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the step of comparing the temperature parameter with a temperature parameter range and/or comparing the temperature parameter with a temperature parameter value is performed as a function of the interdependence parameter.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hemostasis parameter is corrected as a function of the blood gas parameter and/or temperature parameter.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the blood gas parameter is corrected as a function of the hemostasis parameter and/or temperature parameter.

16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the evaluation parameter is determined as a function of the corrected hemostasis parameter and/or corrected blood gas parameter.

17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hemostasis parameter, adapted hemostasis parameter, blood gas parameter and/or adapted blood gas parameter is transmitted to a data output device and/or output by a data output device as a function of the determined evaluation parameter.

18. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the evaluation parameter is transmitted to a data output device and/or output by a data output device.

19. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an output information and/or a control command for the data output device is selected from a plurality of output information and/or control commands as a function of the determined evaluation parameter.
