Coagulation Monitoring in Point of Care Testing−as Global Point of View−

Naomi KAMINO*

Point Of Care Testing(POCT) facilitates obtaining TAT results for rapid decision-making in Critical Care therapy, so that POCT has been in high demand in order to implement efficient diagnosis and therapy for Patients.
Efficient therapy and diagnosis is highly needed to improve patient service, and reduction of total medical cost is under pressure.
Measurements of essential parameters for critical care with small meters or devices are available as POCT. e.g. Coagulation parameters.
Since Coagulation parameters are critical parameter, Coagulation Monitoring is done in the Emergency room, CCU, ICU and Operating room.
Coagulation Self Monitoring has already been implemented in several European countries for patients receiving Anti Coagulation therapy, e.g. those who have undergone surgery for Artificial Heart Valve, because increasing numbers of patients requring self monitoring is expected.
