title: [Efficient organization of preanalytical processes for clinical laboratory studies in emergency medicine].
abstract: The paper deals with the urgent problem in the development of the uniform preanalytical conception in the four-level critical laboratory study system: Level 1: POC-diagnosis and specimen collection for 2-3-4 levels; Level 2: specialized rapid critical care diagnostic tests and sample preparation for 3-4 levels; Level 3: complex diagnosis by standard clinical laboratory studies; Level 4: a highly specialized and special additional diagnostic study. The necessity of and basic criteria for drawing up the special document "Preanalytical guideline for organizing a rational laboratory processes" for the personnel of critical care medical divisions and the employees of laboratories are considered in the article. Particular attention is given to the specificity of preanalytical processes in critical care medicine and to the choice of specimen collection systems, to the optimal conditions of biomaterial storage, transportation, the quality of analysis (including non-conventional decisions and technologies).
