Point-of-Care Troponin Testing During Ambulance Transport to Detect Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Conclusions: Prehospital POC i-STAT cTn measurement in patients transported with acute chest pain was highly specific for MI but had low sensitivity. This suggests that prehospital i-STAT POC cTn could be useful to rule-in MI, but should not be used to exclude MI. PMID: 31985326 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
