Paste lab results in any form: an EMR results dump, a flowsheet table, portal export, or the values buried in progress notes. The builder reads the dates and times, pulls out troponin, lactate, white count, hemoglobin, platelets, creatinine, BUN, electrolytes, glucose, coagulation studies, liver tests, inflammatory markers, blood gases, A1c, BNP and D-dimer, groups them by analyte on a dated timeline, flags critical values and rising or falling trends, and hands you CSV and copy-ready chronology rows. Only values in your text are used; when the text has no reference range, a typical adult range is shown and labelled so you can verify it against the lab's own range.

How to use the result
Check every row against the source page. The "line found in text" mark shows that the quoted line exists in what you pasted; it does not prove the value was read correctly or belongs to the date shown. Rows marked "date inherited" took their date from an earlier heading.
Collection time vs. result time. EMR dumps often print only one of them. For a time-sensitive value (troponin, lactate, potassium, glucose, blood gases) the chronology needs both and the time the clinician saw it.
Reference ranges labelled "typical adult range" were not in your text. Replace them with the lab's own range from the report header before relying on an H or L flag. Troponin has no fallback because every assay has its own cutoff.
Trends are arithmetic, not opinions. A rising troponin or lactate is a prompt for the expert, not a conclusion. Use the chronology rows to put each draw next to the orders and notes around it.
Paste the CSV into your chronology spreadsheet and fill the page-cite column from the Bates-stamped record.
What to request next
The laboratory's own result reports with collection time, received time, result time and the reference range and critical-value limits printed on the report.
The critical-value notification log: who was called, when, and the read-back documentation for each critical result above.
The order history for each panel (ordered, collected, cancelled, hemolyzed or redrawn specimens) and any "add-on" orders.
Point-of-care results (bedside glucose, i-STAT blood gases, lactate meters) that may not appear in the main lab system.
Flowsheets and nursing notes for the hours around each critical value, and the medication administration record for the response.
Audit trail or access log showing when each result was first viewed and by whom.
Any outside-lab or prior-admission results referenced but not included.
