Minutes count in the operating room when it comes to treatment guidance and therapies. On a daily basis, anesthesiologists make hundreds of decisions, some based on laboratory results, when guiding patient therapies. When time is crucial, point-of-care testing is often utilized for expediency. However, point-of-care testing has its limitations. Providers should be aware of the limitations, including the potential for error in results-errors that could lead to improper treatment and possible patient harm. This article outlines the technical aspects and summarizes pitfalls in accuracy for 2 of the most commonly utilized point-of-care testing devices: glucose meters and hemoglobin meters.
在治疗指导和治疗方面，手术室中的每一分钟都很重要。每天，麻醉师在指导患者治疗时会根据实验室结果做出数百个决策。当时间至关重要时，通常会使用即时检测来方便快捷地进行检测。然而，即时检测也有其局限性。医护人员应该了解这些局限性，包括检测结果可能出现的错误——这些错误可能导致治疗不当和患者受伤。本文概述了 2 种最常用的即时检测设备（血糖仪和血红蛋白仪）的技术方面和准确性方面的注意事项。
