What is 416: Comparative Study of Scarce Emergency Department Resource Utilization In Large-Scale Patient Decontamination Exercise about?
two values that appear near the ideal line, the POC glucose level was 50% to 100% higher than the laboratory level. Conclusion: The goal of a POC test is to reliably diagnose a condition more quickly than the standard method of awaiting results from a laboratory. Meningitis is a condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. POC testing of CSF glucose fairly consistently overestimates the actual glucose level, and would therefore lead to delayed treatment of patients who actually present with meningitis. POC glucometers cannot reliably measure glucose levels in CSF and should not be used to assist in the diagnosis of meningitis.
