Point-of-Care Testing in Microbiology
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2020Point-of-care (POC) or near patient testing for infectious diseases is a rapidly expanding space that is part of an ongoing effort to bring care closer to the patient. Traditional POC tests were known for their limited utility, but advances in technology have seen significant improvements in performance of these assays.

Nursing Management (Springhouse), 1997
Point of care testing is changing for the better the way we practice medicine. Whether it is an anesthesiologist doing a blood gas in the operating room, a nurse measuring serum glucose in the home or on the unit, or an intensive care nurse testing by the bedside before calling an intensivist, newer instrumentation provides for a limited number of ...

Point-of-Care Testing for Diabetes
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2002Point-of-care testing, or near patient testing, refers to testing of biochemical parameters with devices that provide rapid results so the data can be immediately used in clinical care. Because the diagnosis and, in particular, management, of diabetes mellitus is largely relegated to the outpatient setting (including self-care in the home, school and ...

Point of Care Testing in Critical Care
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1999POCT is rapidly expanding in today's critical care areas. Nurses need to be involved in the implementation and evaluation process of POCT at every step. Each institution must determine which bedside tests are indicated based on an in-depth analysis of test accuracy, positive clinical impact, and cost-benefit ratio.

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 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 Neurosurgery
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2017AbstractCoagulation disorders can have a major impact on the outcome of neurosurgical patients. The central nervous system is located within the closed space of the skull, and therefore, intracranial hemorrhage can lead to intracranial hypertension. Acute brain injury has been associated with alterations of various hemostatic parameters. Point-of-care (

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.
