Cochrane Reviews, 10/26/09
Doan Q et al. – This review was conducted to assess whether a rapid viral test done in the ED changes what physicians do when treating these children. The authors found that in previously healthy children coming to the ED with fever and respiratory symptoms, a rapid viral test reduces the use of chest X–rays and that there is a trend toward less antibiotic usage, and blood and urine investigations. The true impact of this intervention on the latter three outcomes requires trials with larger enrollment numbers.
