Point-Of-Care Chemistry Test (POCT) Effect on the Emergency Department (ED)
An observational study of Emergency Department and Length of Stay, run by Seoul National University Hospital.
Trial summary
The hypothesis of this study is that POCT will shorten ED turn-around-time (TAT) such as blood drawing TAT, lab TAT, and decision TAT. Read more about this study

Study population: This study was performed in five EDs. Three were urban EDs with 30,000 to 45,000 annual visits, and two were suburban EDs with 15,000 to 25,000 annual visits. Each hospital has its own central laboratory which can test the same emergency chemistry tests, including liver panel (alkaline phosphatase, protein, albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, GOT, and GPT), renal panel (BUN, creatinine, calcium, and phosphorus), pancreas enzymes (amylase, lipase), electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, total CO2), lipid panel (total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol), and blood gases (pH, pO2, pCO2, and bicarbonate).
Who may be able to join
- Patients older than 15 years
- clinically required to have chemistry lab tests

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Emergency Department and Length of Stay, run by Seoul National University Hospital.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jul 2009.
