Global Point of Care
The benefits of implementing the i-STAT system in the CVOR at Augsburg Hospital in Germany.
Fast and precise determinations of activated clotting time (ACT) are essential during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery to monitor the degree of heparin-induced anti-coagulation. An inaccurate ACT puts patients at risk for thrombosis and hemorrhage and risks damage to the extracorporeal circuit.
This white paper describes the rationale behind the implementation of the i-STAT System at Augsburg Hospital, where mechanical ACT testing has been used for many years. Data, collected on site, are described which compare the precision of the i-STAT System to its traditional, mechanically based ACT testing device.
Improved efficiency
Precision on the i-STAT gave clinicians confidence in the results. Repeat testing on comparator device added an additional 17 minutes in 7% of samples.
Reduced QC workload
IT connectivity
Full integration into Augsburg Hospital's IT system.
