CRP/CBC Equipment

15.02.2015

We have delivered the CRP/CBC equipment at Neonatology Unit in UCCK which serves to determine the level of CRP and CBC on premature babies – blood analysis that helps diagnose blood infection on babies, the need for anti-biotic therapy following diagnosed infections, treatment follow-up, and the time where the anti-biotic therapy is enough for the baby.

Baby is injected only once when the blood sample is obtained and the results are ready in 4 minutes. The medical practitioners have the chance to review 2 types of results with one sample/testing. A small amount of blood is needed for the sample, hence the baby does not lose a lot of blood, as is the case currently (which is leading babies towards becoming anemic from the amount of blood they lose during testing).
