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%.
Anything which has mass also has a gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall. Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the Sun and what keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth.
