Automated Monitoring of Plasma-free Hemoglobin on Routine Clinical Chemistry Platforms

To the Editor: Dufour et al. recently published the article “Hemolysis and Plasma Free Hemoglobin During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: From Clinical Implications to Laboratory Details”1 in which they nicely review the clinical implications of hemolysis in patients with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and describe the available methods for detection of free hemoglobin (free Hb). They conclude that none of the major leaders in...
