摘要

降钙素原(PCT)是降钙素荷尔蒙的前体,已成为细菌感染的标志物,似乎对呼吸系统疾病特别有用。事实证明,PCT 检测有助于支持医护人员做出治疗决策。它在老年人护理方面也有特别的优势,尤其是在评估、识别败血症、减少多重用药和指导抗生素处方方面。本文讨论了护理院中的 PCT 测试,以及如何使用该测试支持护理院中的护士为住院患者提供最佳护理。文章以 PCT 检测的最新证据和作者作为一名在护理院工作的高级执业护士的临床经验为基础。

Using procalcitonin testing to guide treatment decisions in care homes.

Procalcitonin (PCT), a precursor of the hormone calcitonin, has emerged as a marker of bacterial infection that appears to be particularly useful in respiratory conditions. PCT testing has been shown to be beneficial in supporting healthcare professionals with their decision-making about treatment. It also has particular advantages in relation to the care of older people, notably in terms of assessment, recognising sepsis, reducing polypharmacy and informing antibiotic prescribing. This article discusses PCT testing in care homes and how its use can support nurses working in such settings to provide optimal care to residents. The article is underpinned by the latest evidence on PCT testing and the author's clinical experience as an advanced nurse practitioner working in a care home.
