Register now to save your spot and hear from experts as they discuss the latest research, techniques and technologies in their fields, from the use of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin in the emergency department and point-of-care blood gas testing to breath-based diagnostics, a new imaging data management platform and quality control practices in the clinical laboratory, and more.
POINT-OF-CARE: Is the effort really worth the result? hs-cTn at the point of care or lab?
This webinar will cover the utilization of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (cTn) in the emergency department (ED) and its impact when delivered via a rapid point-of-care (POC) device or core laboratory. In a moderated debate format, the case for using a point-of-care test to deliver high-sensitive cTn results will be presented, debating potential advantages in efficacious assessment of patients where myocardial infarction (MI) is part of the differential diagnosis.

CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS: Impact of point-of-care blood gas testing at a large community hospital
Patti DeJuilio, Clinical Director of Respiratory Care, Center for Sleep Health, will discuss the implementation of POCT and highlight the impact on cost, sepsis bundle compliance and employee engagement. Specifically, she will explore how the increased utilization of lactate testing with improved sepsis bundle compliance may have reduced mortality and improvements associated with clinical, operational, and financial outcomes.
