An interventional study of point-of-care chemistry test(POCT) (Piccolo) in Crowding, sponsored by Seoul National University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 15 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-07-24.
Sponsored by Seoul National University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The hypothesis of this study that the Point-Of-Care Chemistry Test (POCT) may shorten Emergency Department (ED) length of stay (LOS).
ED crowding is one of the most serious problems in ED. POCT has shorter turn-around time compared to centralized laboratory system. If POCT introduce to ED, it may help to shorten LOS of ED patients.
1,692 studies on the registry are indexed under Emergencies; 333 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 10,244 is above the median of 145 across 931 interventional studies indexed under Emergencies.
