Happy new year 2012 for all of you and your beloved ones.
I know that this could be controversial, sometimes we would have bad blood gases results (or other labs) that will get back within normal limits if we control the same test after warming the baby's heal.
I wonder if some of you warm the baby's heal before capillary sampling? if yes, what is the most practical and safe method you would use for that? Any available litterature on this subject?
