摘要: Devices are now available that practical for point of care testing (PCT) in hospital settings. Previous studies clinical settings, however, have failed to demonstrate a reduction patients' length stay (LOS) associated with the use PCT. This randomized controlled study compared PCT central laboratory Emergency Department assess difference LOS. Patients (n = 93) had median 3 h, 28 min (interquartile range [IR] 2:28 5:30), while those allocated 87) 4 22 (IR 3:04 5:47). The was significantly shorter. Among patients who were destined be discharged home, there also shorter stay, but not among admitted. It concluded can achieve significant time savings an Department.
