Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The inclusion of biomarkers in diagnostic tools has been shown to provide critical support in several healthcare disciplines. Now, the development of point-of-care testing allows us to implement those biomarkers at the bedside, which is extremely useful in emergency medicine.
This Special Issue aims to shed light on the many advances in, and cutting-edge works on, the point-of-care testing tools used in emergency settings, whether in hospital and out of hospital.
For inclusion in this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles, reviews, communications, brief reports, interesting images, and so on. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: emergency medicine; prehospital care; point-of-care testing tools; critical care; and bedside diagnostic tools.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
