2.2 STAT/ Urgent Test

These are short turnaround time tests for immediate patient management. STAT/
Urgent test should ONLY be requested when it is clinically indicated. The misuse of
STAT/ Urgent request will lead to a delay in the true urgent cases.

The laboratory will prioritize specimens from the critical care unit (ICU, CCU, PICU,
NICU, CICU) and emergency department. Specimen from other unit may be considered
as STAT/ Urgent if the clinical indication provided is justified.
