Correlation of C-Reactive Protein and Complete Blood Count Parameters in Pediatric Sepsis: A Retrospective Study from Hebron, Palestine

C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most characteristic acute-phase proteins. Elevated amounts of C-reactive protein are found in human serum during the acute-phase response. The relationships between CRP results and gender, age, CBC parameters, and diagnosis were studied by taking the results of 201 patients from...

Concordance of the analysis of basic biochemical and hematological parameters using a blood gas analyzer compared to laboratory analyses: a retrospective method-comparison study from a tertiary center in Morocco

Introduction: the use of "point-of-care" (POC) monitoring, like blood gas analysis, allows clinicians to measure important variables in real-time, allowing for immediate results to be provided to make rapid decisions. However, the reliability of basic biochemistry and hematology parameters in arterial blood conducted a...

Point-of-Care White Blood Cell Differential Testing in Pediatric Inpatients (2 Months-17 Years): How Does HemoScreen Perform?

BACKGROUND Point-of-care (POC) hematology testing is of growing interest in pediatric practice. We previously evaluated an image-based POC hematology analyzer (HemoScreen, PixCell Medical, Yokneam Illit, Israel) for total white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell, and platelet counts and associated indices in pediatric in...

A-375 Verifying analytical performance of i-STAT high sensitivity troponin cartridges in an urban academic medical center emergency department

Troponin I is a commonly used laboratory test for detection of myocardial infarction. A point-of-care (POC) option for Troponin I allows for quicker clinical decision making, which is particularly useful in the Emergency Department (ED). However, the Abbott contemporary cartilages currently used in this ED for PO...

Single High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Measurement to Rule-out/Rule-in Myocardial Infarction in the Emergency Department.

The results demonstrated that the TriageTrue hs-cTnI whole blood test could serve as an alternative method for ruling out or confirming non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the prehospital setting using a single POC troponin measurement.
