Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with leukemia History of haemolytic anaemia or recent blood transfusion History of coagulation disorders

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the values of coagulation parameters (PT, aPTT ) and platelet counts in blood samples delivered by pneumatic transportation system compared with samples delivered by hand obtained from patients diagnosed with sepsisTimepoint: Immediately after analysis of the samples delivered by two different means( PTS and hand delivered)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)To compare the haematological (Hb, TLC, ESR) and biochemical (Na,K,Cl, LDH, SGOT ,SGPT and Creatinine) laboratory parameters in blood samples delivered by pneumatic transportation system compared with samples delivered by hand obtained from patients diagnosed with sepsis. 2)To validate the existing system installed in our institute by measuring similar parameters of non septic patients scheduled for elective surgeries which are sent via the pneumatic tubing system and simultaneously by the manual courier. Timepoint: Immediately after analysis of the samples delivered by two different means( PTS and hand delivered)
