چکیده
Oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) using warfarin (Coumadin®) has surged in recent years due to an increased number of indications and its demonstrated effectiveness.1 The primary means of monitoring the response to warfarin is the Prothrombin Time (PT) test, which is measured in seconds.2,3 The increased use of OAT has led to the development of point-of-care (POC) portable monitoring devices designed to use a capillary sample of whole blood for PT determination.1

In 1935, Quick et al. [1] described the one-stage prothrombin time (PT) test of the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. In the present nomenclature, the PT should be referred to as the tissue factor-induced coagulation time. With modifications, this test continues to be the principal method for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy. Quick [2] recommended a detailed procedure for the p...

The FDA has become aware of performance problems associated with point of care (POC) Prothrombin Time (PT)/International Normalized Ratio (INR) devices that raise patient safety concerns. Numerous reports of serious adverse events for POC PT/INR devices have been submitted to the FDA. The FDA’s postmarket analysis of these reports indicates that the adverse events appear to be linked to inaccur...
متن کاملReemergence of the International Normalized Ratio for the standardization of prothrombin time.
A survey of physicians demonstrated that half had knowledge of the International Normalized Ratio (INR) but none used the value for monitoring their patients because it was not available from the Coagulation Laboratory. The Laboratory then provided the INR value at a physician's request. A six month review of prothrombin time (PT) results showed that only the physicians from the Cardiology Clin...
