Triage® ProfilER SOB Panel
The Triage® ProfilER Shortness of Breath Panel provides rapid risk assessment and differential diagnosis of patients presenting to the emergency department with shortness of breath and risk assessment of patients with acute coronary syndromes. The Panel gives physicians the ability to distinguish between the many causes of shortness of breath in approximately 15 minutes. By evaluating the symptom, physicians are able to quickly, economically and effectively determine the appropriate care pathway. The Triage ProfilER Shortness of Breath Panel is a new approach in diagnosis for physicians.
THE PANEL APPROACH
Symptom panels are diagnostics, employing multiple markers intended to help physicians determine the cause of a particular symptom that is common to a variety of diseases and conditions. The Triage ProfilER Shortness of Breath Panel is a symptom panel that enables physicians to more efficiently diagnose shortness of breath patients, provide a better understanding of the event and reduce the time-to-diagnose.
Differential diagnosis, or having the ability to rule out an ailment, is often equally as valuable to a physician as identifying an actual disease. With the Triage ProfilER Shortness of Breath Panel, physicians can easily obtain the measurements of five markers without sacrificing accuracy. Troponin I, CK-MB, myoglobin, BNP and D-dimer each provide unique clinical information, and the panel approach maximizes the strengths of each marker.
