Lab Says T; POCT Says I Does it really matter?

You say I, I say T, you say lab and I say POCT!
How to accelerate chest pain assessment – Prof. Rick Body

Prof. Body examines questions on how to make rapid chest pain assessment really work:

• How can we use point-of-care testing when there are patients waiting on corridors?
• How do we make the link between central lab and point of care?
• Should we always see the sickest patients first?
• Despite all the research, why haven’t we conquered this problem yet?

Prof. Body will share practical, evidence-based insights into how clinicians can use troponin results with confidence to make timely decisions for patients presenting with chest pain.

Making the pathway work: bringing high-sensitivity troponin testing closer to the patient – Dr. Faheem Ahmad

Having led the rollout of point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin testing across six emergency departments, Dr. Ahmad draws on real-world experience from live, routine clinical practice where the laboratory uses high-sensitivity troponin T, while point-of-care testing uses high-sensitivity troponin I. Dr. Ahmad will share how these pathways have been successfully implemented and how they impact patient care.
