Abstract:
Objective This study intends to explore the impacts of the establishment of chest pain center(CPC) on the door-to-balloon(D-to-B) time in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by different transfer ways to hospital. Methods A regular CPC and a regional cooperative network were established based on the pre-hospital transmitted real-time 12-lead electrocardiogram system. The STEMI patients were divided into the following three groups by the different transfer ways to hospital before and after the establishment of chest pain center:self-referral groups (group A1, n=52, and group A2, n=65), EMS (emergency medical service ) groups (group B1, n=31, and group B2, n=92) and transfer PCI groups (group C1, n=23, and group C2, n=552). The mean D-to-B time and the rate of D-to-B below 90 minutes were compared between before and after the establishment of CPC and the reasons of reperfusion delay were analyzed. Results There were no statistical differences of the average D-to-B time [(123±78) min vs.(140±123)min, P > 0.05] and the rate of D-to-B time below 90 min (44.2%vs. 46.2%) between group A1 and group A2. The average D-to-B time was significantly shortened in group B2 [(89±66)min] while compared with that in group B1 [(155±115)min, P<0.05] and the rate of D-to-B time below 90 min was remarkably elevated in group B2 compared with that of group B1 (69.6%vs. 32.3%, P<0.05). The average D-to-B time was significant shorter in group C2 than in group C1 [(77±43)min vs. (337±662)min, P<0.05] and the rate of D-to-B time below 90 min was remarkable higher in group C2 than in group C1 (75.7%vs. 21.7%, P<0.05). The longer D-to-B time in self-referral groups was mainly due to the delay of getting informed consent before PCI when occupied catheterization laboratory was the major cause of reperfusion delay in EMS groups and transfer PCI groups. Conclusions The establishment of CPC may significantly shorten the D-to-B time and increase the rate of D-to-B time below 90 min for these patients admitted by EMS and transferred from non-PCI hospitals. However, the pathway for the self-referral patients should be further modified.
