The Role of Microbial Identification Instrument and Fully Automatic Blood Culture Instrument in Blood Testing
Objective:To compare and analyze the application value of microbial identification instrument and fully automatic blood culture instrument in blood testing work. Methods:80 patients who required blood testing in our hospital between January 2022 and December 2023 were selected. Peripheral venous blood was collected and tested using a microbiological analyzer and a fully automatic blood culture instrument. The microbiological analyzer was used as control group,and the fully automatic blood culture instrument was used as experimental group. The following indicators were compared between the two groups:testing time and testing cost;Detection of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria;Test the efficacy of diagnosing blood microbiota. Results:Compared with control group,experimental group had a shorter testing time (P<0.05) and lower testing costs (P<0.05). There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the detection rates of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria between the two groups after comparison. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the sensitivity,accuracy,and specificity of testing and diagnosing blood microbiota between the two groups. Conclusion:Both fully automatic blood culture equipment and microbiological identification equipment have good diagnostic performance in blood testing work,while fully automatic blood culture equipment has shorter diagnostic time and lower cost,making it more applicable.
