Abstract
CALANDRELLI, MATÍAS E et al. Survey on the Management of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Hospitals from Rural Areas of Rio Negro, Argentina. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.2, pp.138-141. ISSN 1850-3748. http://dx.doi.org/10.7775/rac.es.v88.i2.17176.
Introduction:
information on the management of AMI with a ST-segment elevation (IAMCEST) in rural areas of our country is scarce.
Objective:
To know about the availability and use of diagnostic and therapeutic resources in the care of IAMCEST in rural medical centers in Río Negro province
Methods:
A structured, open-response, telephone survey was conducted, to on-call doctors from 8 hospitals of the South Line, all between 2 and 4 level (without intensive areas).
Results:
The IAMCEST patients are attended by generalists, who in half of the cases have no one to consult the ECG. Broadly they do not have systematic systems or referral networks. Although 75% of the centers have more than 2 hours of derivation, most do not have streptokinase. Half of the referrals are cities that do not have hemodynamics for cases without coverage.
Conclusion:
The organization and availability of resources in IAMCEST care in rural areas of the province of Río Negro is scarce.
