Intraoperative point-of-care testing
Point-of-care devices offer an increasing number of analytical tests more quickly than laboratory analysis, but clinicians must be aware of the limitations of these devices, especially for critical threshold-level decisions. Glucometers are susceptible to a wide range of errors, and only a few haemoglobin-measuring devices have accuracy approaching ...
