Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid is an emergency test which requires stringent monitoring from sample collection, transport, acceptance and release of report. These all must be in time framework .Our audit was regarding the turn around time of cerebrospinal fluid and found that TAT for CSF testing was actually falsely high due post analytical errors. Our study provides glaring evidence that can be used as a basis for making relevant changes in establishing laboratory TAT.
