CRRT Blood--iSTAT

Hi all,
Just reaching out to see if anyone performs ionized calcium testing on CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy) blood on the iSTAT. One of our physicians from Peds Nephrology has been very interested in it, but we were hoping to gain some insight on how other facilities are classifying this sample type on the iSTAT and how the results are distinguished within the EMR. We will be transitioning to Epic this Fall.
Thank you!

We do perform CRRT testing for both the iCa and ACT on the ISTAT. In Cerner it was built to show in the EMR as POC Calcium Ionized CRRT and POC ACT CRRT. In DE, we added a source of CRRT to the unit that performs this test. They have to option to select in on the ISTAT screen. We use Telcor as our middleware. We too will be transitioning to Epic but not until next fall. I do not know how this will impact things here.
Thanks for all of the information, Debra!
