Point-of-Care Testing in Coagulation
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2009Point-of-care (POC) assays are available for a variety of coagulation tests. These assays are generally simple to perform and have a more rapid turnaround time than their central-laboratory counterparts. This article discusses the current status of coagulation POC methodologies, focusing on the potential clinical uses and the limitations of platelet ...

Point‐of‐care testing in haemostasis
British Journal of Haematology, 2010SummaryPoint‐of‐care testing (POCT) in haematology has seen a significant increase in both the spectrum of tests available and the number of tests performed annually. POCT is frequently undertaken with the belief that this will reduce the turnaround time for results and so improve patient care. The most obvious example of POCT in haemostasis is the out‐

Point-of-Care Testing Informatics
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2009Managing patient test data and documenting regulatory compliance for tests performed at the point of care have traditionally been significant problems. In many situations, manual record-keeping has proven entirely inadequate for maintaining the integrity of the patient medical record or for providing an audit trail for quality assurance activities ...

Point-of-care testing of proteins
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2009Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a fast developing area in clinical diagnostics that is considered to be one of the main driving forces for the future in vitro diagnostic market. POCT means decentralized testing at the site of patient care. The most important POCT devices are handheld blood glucose sensors.

Point-of-Care Testing in Diabetes Care
Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2011Assessing modifiable risk factors for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases prior to the onset of disease could allow effective prevention initiatives. Equally, monitoring in diabetic people glucose, haemoglobin A1c, ketones, lipid profiles, and urinary microalbumin concentrations allows the prevention, early detection, and treatment of diabetes ...

Point-of-Care Testing at the Millennium
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2001Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a major force in the future evolution of hospital care, with prospects for even greater expansion of accessibility, speed, and also, hopefully, accuracy of results. New developments in POCT technology will predictably occur in three areas: connectivity, test menu expansion, and noninvasiveness.

[Microbiological point of care tests].
Anasthesiologie, Intensivmedizin, Notfallmedizin, Schmerztherapie : AINS, 2010It is well known that the early initiation of a specific antiinfective therapy is crucial to reduce the mortality in severe infection. Procedures culturing pathogens are the diagnostic gold standard in such diseases. However, these methods yield results earliest between 24 to 48 hours. Therefore, severe infections such as sepsis need to be treated with

Quality in point-of-care testing
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2003Point-of-care testing (POCT) is an increasingly popular means of providing laboratory testing at or near to the site of patient care. POCT provides rapid results and has the potential to improve patient outcome from earlier treatment. However, a faster result is not necessarily an equivalent result to traditional, core laboratory testing.
