POCT in the ED â¢ Faster does not always lead to better outcome â¢ Lab tests are rarely the rate limiting factor in ED disposition â¢ Process analysis is the key understanding and improving patient throughput in the ED â¢ Test menu selection is a critical component of the potential application of POCT â¢ Match available tests to disposition decisions
Gravity decreases with altitude as one rises above the Earth's surface because greater altitude means greater distance from the Earth's centre. All other things being equal, an increase in altitude from sea level to 9,000 metres (30,000 ft) causes a weight decrease of about 0.29%.
Jun 29, 2014. Gravity always pulls an object toward earth with an acceleration of 9.8#m/s^2#. This is assuming that you are on earth. No matter what. Even though this is the standard acceleration due to gravity there are minor variations due to altitude and latitude. The further you are away from the centre of earth (altitude) the lower the value of the acceleration will be.
