Auday Abdulmohsin Al Khunaizi

Consultant in Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care

Auday Abdulmohsin Al Khunaizi is a consultant in emergency medicine and intensive care at King Saud Medical City in Riyadh. Emergency and critical care depend on laboratory results arriving fast enough to change a decision, which places point-of-care testing at the centre of his clinical interest. His perspective is that of the clinician at the receiving end of the laboratory: where turnaround genuinely alters management, where point-of-care devices create bottlenecks of their own in workflow, governance and quality control, and what it takes to make bedside testing reliable enough to trust in a resuscitation room.
