Why the study?
POC hs-cTn assays within a clinical pathway may safely reduce ED length of stay for possible AMI, prompting the first real-life evaluation.
Does a point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin assay reduce length of stay in adult patients presenting to the emergency department with possible acute myocardial infarction?
Does a point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin assay reduce length of stay in adult patients presenting to the emergency department with possible acute myocardial infarction?
The implementation of a point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin assay in the emergency department safely reduces length of stay for patients evaluated for possible acute myocardial infarction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
POC hs-cTn implementation may shorten ED stays; leaves open whether randomized data will confirm safety and efficiency.
