What do you use in the OR for point of care testing? Our group has been talking with pathology because an abg, lytes and h/h is taking 45 min to report which is virtually useless.
The path dept tells us that they have (what appears to be antiquated) a system that we (our group) can train on 10 hrs a year annually and 1 hr a month on top of that for each user. This would allow us intra operative point if care testing. Sounds like bs to me.
What other alternatives are there that financially would not be hindering to purchase for our group if we need this testing about weekly? I know of I-stat which we used in residency. Others?
Thanks.
