Abstract

Abstract The use of point-of-care testing (POCT) technology has increased every year worldwide. In Spain, there are no data about how these tests are used and where they are performed, and there is no clear vision of what is the role of laboratory regarding these tests. The POCT Committee, in the Spanish Society of Clinical Biochemistry, carried out a survey in order to find out what the situation is with POCT in the country from a laboratory POCT manager's point of view. The survey had 19 questions: 3 for segmentation, 1 for opinion, 13 to obtain specific information about POCT in their hospitals, and 2 about personal information. To enable a response, a survey link was shared in the Spanish Society of Clinical Biochemistry Web page. Responses were obtained via Google Docs Web page, where coworkers were requested to fill in the survey. The survey was answered by 140 laboratories, but only 126 of the responses were considered valid. The survey results generally showed that the situation in Spain is similar to that in other countries as documented by similar national surveys on POCT. The survey also demonstrated room for improvement in POCT practices and a need for governmental regulation to improve POCT processes.
在西班牙的护理点测试的第一印象:西班牙社会临床生物化学调查结果
在世界范围内,点护理检测(POCT)技术的使用每年都在增加。在西班牙,没有关于如何使用和在何处进行这些检测的数据,也没有关于实验室在这些检测方面的作用的明确设想。西班牙临床生物化学学会的POCT委员会进行了一项调查,以便从实验室POCT管理人员的角度了解该国POCT的情况。调查共有19个问题:3个问题用于细分,1个问题用于意见,13个问题用于获取其所在医院POCT的具体信息,2个问题用于个人信息。为了得到回应,西班牙临床生物化学学会的网页上分享了一个调查链接。我们通过谷歌Docs网页获得了反馈,并要求同事填写调查问卷。140个实验室回答了这项调查,但只有126个回答被认为是有效的。调查结果普遍表明,西班牙的情况与其他国家类似的POCT全国调查所记录的情况相似。调查还显示了POCT实践的改进空间,以及政府监管改进POCT流程的必要性。
