Advanced Clinical Parameters (ACPs) for Neonatology and Pediatrics
Neonatology and Pediatric care focuses on age-specific healthcare as it relates to our smallest patients. Normal lab values for this special group may differ greatly from those of adult patients.
Watch: A Pediatric hematologists's perspective
Our Advanced Clinical Parameters (ACPs) expand the routine CBC beyond traditional use and may assist clinicians with patient care. Dr. Kandace Gollomp, pediatric hematologist/oncologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, explains how Sysmex's Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Equivalent (RET-He) and Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) can be used to help determine a patient's underlying condition, even when other parameters may be unreliable. Dr. Gollomp describes how Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Equivalent (RET-He) and Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) can be included in order sets or as reflex testing, and how she encourages other specialists in her hospital system to incorporate Sysmex's ACPs as part of their patient workups
