Urinalysis is the second most common laboratory test, and its proper performance during the process, especially in the evaluation of urinary sediment, is essential. The goal of our study was to determine the influence of the time and angle of inclination of the centrifuge tube during the decantation process on the leukocyte count in urinary sediment. A descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective experimental study was conducted, collecting 100 urine samples from patients at a private clinic in northern Lima. All samples met the inclusion criteria and quality control standards, and the leukocyte counts were evaluated according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) GP16-A3 protocol. From the total samples, 89% were women. The frequency of cases with or without variation in the leukocyte count, at decantation angles of 135º and 180º and times of 2 and 1 seconds, showed that 12% and 23% had the same count (p=0.040). A significant influence of the time and angle of inclination of the centrifuge tube during decantation on the leukocyte count in the urinary sediment was determined.

Level of knowledge of medical technologists about the preanalytical process of arterial blood gas in hospitals of Metropolitan Lima - 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-08-13) Lopez Rivera, Silvana; Saldaña Orejón, Italo Moisés
Study Objective: To determine the level of knowledge of medical technologists regarding the pre-analytical process of arterial blood gas analysis. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental study was conducted, involving 74 medical technologists from a non-probabilistic sample out of 3,894 registered professionals at the Medical Technologist College of Peru. A questionnaire with 40 multiple-choice questions was used. The results showed that 36.5% of participants were between 31 and 40 years old, 43.2% had been working for less than 5 years, and 50% worked at Minsa. Furthermore, 67.6% had basic general knowledge, 50% had basic theoretical knowledge, and 62.2% had basic practical knowledge. Conclusion: More than half of the medical technologists had basic knowledge regarding the pre-analytical process of arterial blood gas analysis.
