Emergency Department Implementation of the i-STAT Alinity Traumatic Brain Injury Whole Blood Test (NCT07373509)
Effectiveness of the Traumatic Brain Injury Whole Blood Test on Improving Assessment and Triage for Patients With GCS 13-15 Presenting to Emergency Departments
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of this study is to identify determinants for implementing the i-STAT Alinity whole blood traumatic brain injury (TBI) test for its Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-indicated use and to evaluate other potential outcomes with clinical implications. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Determine the number of patients with non-elevated (i.e., below clinical cutoff) whole blood iSTAT Alinity tests who also receive CT scans. 2. What are the obstacles for using the i-STAT Alinity for its FDA-indicated use
