- W3115698518 abstract "Blood cultures are among the most important specimen types received and processed by the microbiology laboratory. Several publications list which variables should be measured to ensure quality. We undertook a qualitative structured questionnaire of Australian and New Zealand clinical microbiology laboratories to document current blood culture practices and to determine whether expected quality standards are being met. Questions included a wide range of pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical aspects of blood cultures from adults. The responses from 71 laboratories were analysed. Compliance was high for use of a biological safety cabinet (90%), incubating for 5 days (86%), and commenting on likely contaminants (85%). While Gram stains were reported within 2 hours during normal hours (93%), reporting was slower after hours (59%), p<0.001. The volume of blood collected for a clinical episode was poorly monitored with only 11% (n=8) of laboratories regularly auditing the number of blood culture sets and 3% (n=2) monitoring adequacy of fill. Most laboratories received blood cultures from off-site with just 34% (n=21) meeting guidance for loading bottles onto the analyser within 4 hours. More laboratories met standards for loading bottles onto the analyser during working hours than after hours: 87% vs 56%, p<0.001. Most laboratories did not monitor the contamination rate, 56% (n=40), and only 27% (n=19) knew their rate was below the guidance threshold of less than –3%. Considerable opportunities exist to improve quality assurance of blood culture practice in Australia and New Zealand, especially for the most critical aspect affecting culture sensitivity, the volume of blood collected." @default.
