2022年6月7日 · Point-of-care (POC) tests have the potential to improve paediatric healthcare. However, both the development and evaluation of POC technology have almost solely been focused on adults.

Trusted answers from the American Academy of Pediatrics. More than 250 continually reviewed and updated topics from key AAP publications outlined for quick answer-finding and efficient problem-solving. This resource provides practical, action-orientated, clinical solutions for healthcare professionals to use during or between patient encounters.

Recently, POC ultrasound use by pediatricians has received increased attention with the practice of both established and novel applications. Objectives: To review various uses of ultrasound by pediatricians, discuss challenges and potential pitfalls as pediatric physicians seek to use ultrasound in their practices, and consider various areas of ...

Use of point-of-care lung ultrasound (POC-LUS) has increased significantly in pediatrics yet it remains under-studied in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). No studies explicitly evaluate the reliability of POC-LUS artifact interpretation among critically ill children with acute respiratory failure (ARF) in the PICU.

Prospective pediatric studies 33-35 have reported POC ultrasound to be 90% to 97% sensitive and 69% to 83% specific for distinguishing abscess from cellulitis compared with clinical suspicion, for which sensitivity and specificity were 75% to 78% and 66% to 80%, respectively.

2024年12月3日 · This study assesses the impact of point-of-care (POC) rapid diagnostic tests for respiratory viruses on clinical and economic outcomes in a PED setting. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1396 POC tests for RSV, adenovirus, and influenza A/B was conducted in the PED of the Giannina Gaslini Institute, Genoa, Italy, from December ...

2025年3月4日 · Provide examples of how to design automated systems (instrumentation and electronic workflows) that meet the needs of pediatric patients. (Rate on scale from 1 - 5 with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest) Discuss how the Laboratory Information System and Electronic Medical Record can be optimized to help automate lab orders and results.

In this review, we will discuss the current state of POCT in pediatric healthcare centres, including its application in emergency, intensive care, and remote settings, and discuss unique considerations required for test interpretation (e.g. pediatric reference intervals) on POCT systems in children and adolescents .

Point-of-care testing (POCT) refers to testing performed outside the clinical laboratory near the patient or at the site of patient care. This could be in critical care settings like the intensive care unit (ICU) and emergency department (ED) or primary care settings like physician offices where testing is performed by nonlaboratory personnel.
