  • Title: Coagulation point-of-care testing.
    Author: Van Cott EM.
    Journal: Clin Lab Med; 2001 Jun; 21(2):337-50. PubMed ID: 11396087.
    Abstract:
    With PT point-of-care devices, further study is needed to fully evaluate the safety and efficacy regarding home self-monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy. Point-of-care PTT testing is also undergoing evaluation. In contrast, the ACT is commonly in use, despite its limitations, at least partly because of the lack of a readily available, inexpensive alternative with sufficient turnaround time. Several platelet function point-of-care devices have also become available, but their role in clinical care is not yet well defined.
