Evolving Trends of Button Battery Ingestion in Indian Children at a Tertiary Care Hospital

A Survey of the Awareness, Knowledge, and Experience of Point-of-Care Devices of Doctors in Nigeria
Abstract: In a point-of-care test (POCT) survey carried out on 109 doctors in Nigeria, the top 3 parameters selected as important to be tested at point of care by more than 90% of the doctors were glucose (95.3%), potassium (92.5%), and hemoglobin (91.6%). Eighty-nine (82%) of the doctors had used a POCT device, with more than 40% of the them having used a device for glucose (71.6%), pregnancy testing (53.2%), urine chemistry (44%), and hemoglobin (43.1%). Less than 10% of the doctors had used a POCT device for cardiac enzymes (5.5%), drugs of abuse (4.6%), and lithium (1.8%). From a list of critical-care POCT devices cons...

Using Residual Blood from the Arterial Blood Gas Test to Perform Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Vancomycin: An Example of Good Clinical Practice Moving towards a Sustainable Intensive Care Unit
CONCLUSION: No significant differences were found in vancomycin concentration between the two analyses, and the LiHep analysis was validated for further implementation in clinical care. Residual blood from ABG test samples can be used for TDM of vancomycin, resulting in a potential reduction of materials used and the number of blood draws. These results will contribute to a more sustainable TDM process with benefits for the patient.PMID:36605032 | PMC:PMC9810402 | DOI:10.1155/2022/9107591
