BACKGROUND: Pneumatic tube system (PTS) may be associated with preanalytical hemolysis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of PTS on biochemical and immunological tests susceptible to hemolysis and try to find ways to reduce the result bias caused by PTS.
METHODS: Laboratory parameters were compared between PTS without centrifuging group, PTS after centrifuging group, PTS with serum group, and hand-delivered (HD) group. Studies were performed to access the influence of different PTS transport frequencies on laboratory assays.
RESULTS: PTS transportation resulted in obviously increase in LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) and NSE (neuron-specific enolase) results (LDH: Bias = 17.95%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = -3.13-39.02; p < 0.001; NSE: Bias = 64.26%, 95% CI = -21.29-149.82; p < 0.001; respectively). After pre-centrifugation, no statistical difference was observed in LDH results (Bias = 2.83%, 95% CI = -13.00-18.65; p = 0.737). However, the bias of NSE still reach 19.16% (95% CI = -41.78-80.11), which exceeded the clinical acceptable range (p = 0.017). Both LDH(p = 0.931) and NSE(p > 0.999) show no statistical difference between PTS with serum group and HD group (LDH: Bias = -1.60%, 95% CI = -6.00-2.81; NSE: Bias = -3.68%, 95% CI = -11.35-3.99).
CONCLUSION: PTS can lead to falsely increased LDH and NSE test results. Only loading the centrifuged upper serum in new tubes during PTS transport can eliminate the results bias of NSE.
