Dear all,
Our ED are looking at ways to improve patient flow through ED using further POCT tests/ devices. Our current repertoire of tests includes: pH, blood gases, sodium, potassium, ionised calcium, glucose, lactate, cooximetry, Glucose & Ketone meters, flu, RSV, urinalysis and pregnancy tests.
Would you recommend any other POCT tests that have had an impact on clinical decision making and reduced waiting times in your Trust's ED? INR and D-Dimer have been mentioned. I’m aware that Werfen have a metabolic cartridge that includes Urea and Creatinine, does anyone use this?
Any information and advice would be much appreciated, thank you in advance for your help,
Best wishes,
Tracey
