Point of Care Testing (POCT) has revolutionized emergency medicine by providing rapid diagnostic results, enhancing patient care, and improving clinical outcomes. This review explores the impact of POCT on emergency settings, particularly focusing on turnaround time (TAT), patient outcomes, and specific applications such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS). While the utility of POCT is evident in certain clinical scenarios, its broader implementation poses challenges, including cost, analytical performance, and integration with traditional laboratory workflows. Future perspectives emphasize the potential of molecular POCT advancements to further streamline emergency care.
