Resumo
In this investigation we intend to introduce bene¯ts to clinical practice in children, especially newborns and
premature infants using an alternative procedure based on X-ray °uorescence technology (XRF). The establish-
ment of alternative method, focusing on the use of small amounts of blood (a drop) for ions dosage, contributes
with actions to humanize health care with minimal su®ering in the sense of adding another alternative for labo-
ratory analysis in the pediatric practice. The dimension of this problem can be evaluated when a 3 kg newborn
is considered to have between 280 mL and 300 mL of blood, while a preterm of 1 kg is in the range of 180
- 200 mL. As a result, blood collections for laboratory and functional tests in pediatric practice are the main
causes of transfusions in infants, especially premature babies, depending on the dysfunction or treatment the
child may need two to three collections per day. Based on these facts, the objective of this work is to analyze
blood of newborns, concomitant with the traditional collection ("foot test"). The Ca, Cl, Fe and K dosage
in blood samples of were determined using XRF technique. The blood samples came from the nursery of the
Hospital of Itapecirica da Serra (S~ao Paulo city, Brazil). The X-Ray Fluorescence analysis was performed using
X-Ray Spectrometer (X-123 SDD model - Amptek). The XRF analytical technique showed to be appropriate
o®ering a new contribution to the neonatal clinic with actions to humanize health care, guaranteeing diagnostic
accuracy with minimal su®ering and exposure to risks in the pediatric practice.
