The objective of this prospective observational study was to assess the door-to-balloon time (D2B), in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and the time factors influencing it. The following timeframes were measured during the study: ED to ECG time, ED to coronary care unit time (ED2CCU), consent time, post-consent to balloon time (POSTCONSENT2B) and D2B. Effective D2B was 54 ± 12.2 min. Of the dependent variables, D2B had a strong positive correlation (ρ = 0.903) with consent time. This study sheds light on consent time a previously unrecognized entity as a significantly influencing factor for the D2B time.
本前瞻性观察研究的目的在于评估急性 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者的门球时间(D2B)及其影响因素。研究期间测量了以下时间区间:急诊科至心电图时间(ED 至 ECG 时间)、急诊科至冠心病监护病房时间(ED 至 CCU 时间,ED2CCU)、知情同意时间、知情同意后至球囊时间(POSTCONSENT2B)和 D2B。有效 D2B 为 54±12.2 分钟。在因变量中,D2B 与知情同意时间呈强正相关(ρ=0.903)。本研究揭示了知情同意时间是一个以前未被认识到的影响 D2B 时间的重要因素。
