In addition to the high performance of the laboratory instrument, this is also due to the conditions and legal requirements that must be met in a medical laboratory, as well as the specialized personnel and preanalytics. The results of the internally or externally located central laboratory are essential for optimal patient care.<\/p>\n<p>In the time-saving analysis of parameters by a POC device or in the measurement by a clinical chemistry laboratory device, measurement results are assessed in the respective reference range of the corresponding device. In contrast to a complex analysis from centrifuged venous blood, done by a clinical chemistry laboratory device, with point of care analysis devices, only a so-called screening is carried out from a drop of capillary blood.<\/p>\n<p>For now, this result is sufficient for emergency physicians to efficiently transfer patients, reduce length of stay and improve emergency department throughput. After all, when it comes to diagnosing a life-threatening event, treating physicians should be able to make decisions quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Time delays in acute care can have a negative impact on patient health. In emergency medicine, every second counts. For example, if a patient is admitted to the emergency room with a suspected acute myocardial infarction, a POC analyzer, such as the BIOspeed Analyzer (internal link BIOspeed), can determine the value of high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-cTnl) using capillary blood from the fingertip in just under 15 minutes. Evaluation on a clinical chemistry analyzer in an internal or external central laboratory is more time-consuming, also in view of the often long transport distances of the patient samples.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to point-of-care diagnostics close to the patient, emergency physicians can obtain an initial impression and initiate the first treatment measures promptly. A detailed laboratory examination on a clinical-chemical laboratory device takes place subsequently, if the patient has already received appropriate emergency medical care.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: POC devices and clinical chemistry laboratory devices complement each other. While the POC device provides a rapid decision-making basis for the emergency care of the patient, the results of the clinical chemistry analyzer in the central laboratory support the follow-up diagnosis and further therapy of the patient.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.biomed.de\/en\/news\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Blog overview<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":34415,"featured_media":13637,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1684,208,1650,1651],"tags":[1687,1688,1640,1685,1654,1686],"class_list":["post-13644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biospeed-en","category-latest-publications-en","category-point-of-care-diagnostic","category-rapid-tests","tag-biospeed-en","tag-healthcare-system","tag-laboratory-diagnostics","tag-poct-diagnostic","tag-point-of-care-diagnostic","tag-rapid-test-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>POC vs. lab device: speed meets accuracy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"POC vs. laboratory device: speed meets accuracy;
