Emergency departments rely on rapid pneumonia testing to triage patients effectively. Quick assessment reduces delays in treatment.
Portable imaging, blood tests, and rapid molecular assays are commonly used. Clinical scoring systems help determine hospitalization needs.
Efficient testing improves patient flow and reduces complications.
Follow-up testing helps assess treatment effectiveness. Repeat imaging may be performed if symptoms persist.
Laboratory markers track inflammation reduction. Oxygen levels indicate respiratory improvement.
Monitoring ensures recovery and identifies complications early.
