Abstract
In the emergency department, the main difficulty is to know if the patients with tetanic risk wound are immunized or not when they can't give the proof of a right vaccination. The Tetanos Quick Stick® is an immunochromatographic, unit, easy, quick and reliable test for the detection of specific antitetanic antibodies. It can display persons without immunoprotection who need prescription of antitetanic immunoglobulins. The use of this point-of-care test was allowed with a good cooperation between clinicians, biologists and nurses. After several months, we wanted to evaluate the medical and economic impact of this test.
