Feasibility of performing laboratory tests in the paediatrician´s office
HOLOUBKOVÁ, Hana
The thesis deals with feasibility of performing laboratory tests in the paediatrician´s office. The objective of my thesis was to learn about the current state of feasibility of performing laboratory tests right in the paediatrician´s office. To meet this objective I distributed questionnaires and visited twenty randomly selected pediatricians. Thereby I got familiar with the structure of tests used in paediatric practice. I have learnt to perform and interpret relevant laboratory methods. The theoretical part of the thesis gives an account of examinations carried out in paediatricians´ offices. It deals in detail with laboratory analyses performed on urine, blood, stool and swab samples. The practical part gives a description of techniques of particular methods and their current use in paediatricians´ offices. These methods are chemical examination of urine by using urinalysis reagent strips, examination of the urine sediment, Uricult examination, C-reactive protein determination, determination of sedimentation rate, determination of glycemia using glucometer, test for occult bleeding, rotavirus and adenovirus assay, Dentocult examination and detection of Streptococcus pyogenes. The results shown in graphs illustrate how frequently the methods are performed.
