Optimizing Efficiency: Experience using bedside Hs cTnI for Accelerated Chest Pain Protocols in ERs

To enhance care delivery in emergency departments (EDs) through faster risk-stratification methods, this webinar will showcase initial findings from the ICare-FASTER interventional clinical trial. Focusing on point-of-care technology within an Accelerated Diagnostic algorithm (0–2 h), Dr. Martin Than, Director of Emergency Medicine Research and Emergency Medicine Specialist, Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand, will discuss the clinical utilization of this algorithm conducted at Christchurch Hospital, and will highlight its impact on reducing the overall length of stay for patients. Furthermore, he will share insights into the practical implications of adopting point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTnI) testing from the perspective of ED physicians, offering valuable learnings for improving patient care and resource utilization.
