1 hour

|2024-12-12

In pediatric critical care transport, every moment counts. Transport teams serve as mobile ICUs, often bringing specialized care to young patients located far from medical facilities. However, resource constraints can limit timely access to essential diagnostic tools, impacting the decisions that can define patient outcomes.

This webinar, led by Timothy McLaughlin, RN, BSN, CFRN, EMT, at MetroHealth System, dives into how point-of-care testing (POCT) is bridging the gap in patient care. Through real-time lab data, POCT can empower healthcare professionals to make informed, timely decisions even in the most resource-limited settings.

  • Explore real-world cases where POCT has driven faster and more accurate decision making where emergency medical services are needed.
  • Understand the impact of POCT in enhancing pediatric patient outcomes from a critical care specialist.
  • Gain practical knowledge for implementing POCT to improve emergency transport and acute care effectiveness.

Physicians, nurses, EMTs, lab technicians, and healthcare providers involved in pediatric care, especially those who navigate the challenges of transport or remote care.
