Point-of-Care Testing at the Millennium

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2001
Point-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.

Coagulation Point-of-Care Testing

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2001
With PT point-of-care devices, further study is needed to fully evaluate the safety and efficacy regarding home self-monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy. Point-of-care PTT testing is also undergoing evaluation. In contrast, the ACT is commonly in use, despite its limitations, at least partly because of the lack of a readily available, inexpensive ...

It 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
