MeSH. D000067716. Point-of-care testing ( POCT ), also called near-patient testing or bedside testing, is defined as medical diagnostic testing at or near the point of care —that is, at the time and place of patient care. [1] [2] This contrasts with the historical pattern in which testing was wholly or mostly confined to the medical ...
Point of care (POC) documentation is the ability for clinicians to document clinical information while interacting with and delivering care to patients. The increased adoption of electronic health records (EHR) in healthcare institutions and practices creates the need for electronic POC documentation through the use of various medical devices. [11]
Multiplexed point-of-care testing (xPOCT) is a more complex form of point-of-care testing (POCT), or bedside testing. Point-of-care testing is designed to provide diagnostic tests at or near the time and place that the patient is admitted. POCT uses the concentrations of analytes to provide the user with information on the physiological state ...
Activated clotting time (ACT), also known as activated coagulation time, is a test of coagulation.. The ACT test can be used to monitor anticoagulation effects, such as from high-dose heparin before, during, and shortly after procedures that require intense anticoagulant administration, such as cardiac bypass, interventional cardiology, thrombolysis, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO ...

test for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori. Rapid urease test, also known as the CLO test (Campylobacter-like organism test), is a rapid diagnostic test for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori. [1] The basis of the test is the ability of H. pylori to secrete the urease enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide .
Recently, the first point-of-care genetic test in medicine was demonstrated to be effective in identifying CYP2C19 *2 carriers allowing tailoring of anti-platelet regimens to reduce high on treatment platelet reactivity. [2] In the RAPID GENE study, [3] Drs. Jason Roberts and Derek So from the University of Ottawa Heart Institute validated a ...
A receiver operating characteristic curve, or ROC curve, is a graphical plot that illustrates the performance of a binary classifier model (can be used for multi class classification as well) at varying threshold values. The ROC curve is the plot of the true positive rate (TPR) against the false positive rate (FPR) at each threshold setting.
