i Stat

[Linda Wise]

We too have used the iStat for 10 years.  It is a great, reliable machine that can give you invaluable info (not just gases but electrolytes, hematocrit/hgb,  ACT's (I know you dont need these in the field generally)  Troponins, )  without the need for a large lab and with a dot of blood.  Great for neonates to the largest patients.
