Abstract：
:Although Stat tests are one of the most important features of clinical laboratory performance, the indexed literature is devoid of significant discussion of the subject. The authors, undertook a study by querying hospital laboratories about their current practices and received 38 useable answers dealing with the types of tests done on an urgent basis, the turn-around time for reports, the limitations on ordering, the use of special Stat laboratories and instruments, and decisions regarding priorities.
