Abstract
Aims: Measuring venous plasma paracetamol concentrations is time- and resource-consuming. We aimed to validate a novel electrochemical point-of-care (POC) assay for rapid paracetamol concentration determinations. Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers received 1 g oral paracetamol, and its concentrations were analysed 10 times over 12 h for capillary whole blood (POC), venous plasma (high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS)), and dried capillary blood (HPLC-MS/MS). Results: At concentrations >30 μM, POC showed upward biases of 20% (95% limits of agreement [LOA] −22 to 62) and 7% (95% LOA −23 to 38) compared with venous plasma and capillary blood HPLC-MS/MS, respectively. There were no significant differences between mean concentrations for the paracetamol elimination phase. Conclusions: Upward biases in POC compared with venous plasma HPLC-MS/MS were likely due to higher paracetamol concentrations in capillary blood than in venous plasma and to faulty individual sensors. The novel POC method is a promising tool for paracetamol concentration analysis.Description
