[Reliability of hemoglobin measurement by HemoCue in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding].
Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a frequent complication in digestive diseases, requiring follow-up by specialized units such as the digestive bleeding unit. Hemoglobin is determined daily in the management of these patients, and consequently a rapid and reliable method for hemoglobin determination is required. ⋯ There is a good correlation between HemoCue and laboratory determinations. Consequently, HemoCue is a quick and reliable method both in the acute and stable phases of gastrointestinal bleeding.
