Abstract
Visual inspection is not sensitive for the detection of spectrophotometric xanthrochromia. Increasing the diameter of the collection tubes did improve sensitivity. Emergency physicians should be aware of how xanthrochromia is determined at their institutions and understand the implications of using visual detection to determine the presence or absence of xanthrochromia.
