AI Article Synopsis
- POC (Point-of-Care) laboratories have proven effective in managing pandemics such as COVID-19.
- The spread of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants was exacerbated by population movements during major events.
- The ongoing nature of the pandemic is linked to the virus's high mutation rate and the emergence of concerning variants, with POC labs in Senegal playing a key role in detecting these variants.
Article Abstract
• POC laboratories have demonstrated their usefulness in the context of a pandemic (like COVID-19). • The movement of population during major events likely contributed to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. • The persistence of the pandemic is due to the high mutation rate of the virus and the constant appearance of variant of concern. • POC laboratories were among the few laboratories capable of routinely detecting SARS-CoV-2 variants in Senegal.

Bleeding after cardiac surgery is a common and serious complication leading to transfusion of multiple blood products and resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Despite the publication of numerous guidelines and consensus statements for patient blood management in cardiac surgery, research has revealed that adherence to these guidelines is poor, and as a result, a significant variability in patient transfusion practices among practitioners still remains. In addition, although utilization of point-of-care (POC) coagulation monitors and the use of novel therapeutic strategies for perioperative hemostasis, such as the use of coagulation factor concentrates, have increased significantly over the last decade, they are still not widely available in every institution.
