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%.
Gravitational Pull of the Planets. Gravity is a natural occurrence in which physical objects are attracted toward one another. This attraction is proportional to the objectsâ masses. Since the mass of each planet is different, the gravitational pull on an object will be different on each planet as well. Hence, an individualâs weight would vary depending on what planet they are on.
