WATCH RECORDING: INCREASING ACCESS TO TIMELY HAEMOGLOBIN RESULTS:UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF POINT-OF-CARE TESTS (HELD ON 18 DECEMBER 2023 10:00-11:00AM BST)Access to timely haemoglobin test results is vital for managing patients with severe anaemia. However, in many places it can take hours to receive haemoglobin test results, or the tests may often be unavailable. Point-of-care tests have the potential to provide swift results to enable clinicians to decide which patients require blood transfusions. Despite this, they are not yet widely available in hospitals in low- and middle-income countries. This webinar will explore the potential of these devices for improving outcomes for people with severe anaemia. It will cover a systematic review of which tests are currently being used in low- and middle-income settings, including the challenges around their use. It will also include the perspective of a clinician working in a regional referral hospital around how point-of-care haemoglobin tests can facilitate timely clinical decision-making, improving the chances for children with severe anaemia. |
